I have terrible arthritic knee and low back pain, looking for some really good homeopathic type ways for care?


Question:
Retired U.S. Army Ranger. with lots of miles on knees and many jumps. I have had both knees scoped, didnt seem to help, as for back pain no hurniations but problem area is in the L5 s1 area

Answers:
I recommnend daily lap swimming --build up to where you are doing at least 1/2 mile nonstop of "crawl." Start with 1/4 mile of backstroke though.

My knees and ankles are bad and I ruptured L4 and L5 together i 1996 but haven't had major problems since because of lap swimming.

Keep a small store of cyclobenzaprine ("Flexeril") and Tylenol 3 to break any spasms that happen to your back -- I use that stuff about 2ce a year for about 2 days.

Surgery only helps about 50% of the time and invites further surgery every 5 years or so that limits flexibility.
I'm a Vet too and V.A. sucks. Get a Doctor to give you 5mg. Predisone a day. Some days you will have to take two. Also 8 tramadol a day an 8 tyenols a day. lodeine 500mg. 2 times a day.
It will make life a little easier.
