Acetaminophen works for me most of the times. Real severe bouts are dealt with the Rx hydrocodone, if that doesn't do the trick I go get an injection...

 I have knee pain especially when the weather get bad  I take ibuprophen  and usually put moist heat on my knee that seems to help  I need a knee replacement but right now I am holding off  :thumbsup:

I've had knee pain off and on with weight gain or lack of exercise.  While working in retail another associate told me about glucosamine. I bought some at GNC, started working out (Eventually got myself up to jogging 6 miles a day) and all the stiffness dissipated.  Since than I've heard mixed reports on glucosamine.

I have awful knee pain.  I was taking an anti-inflammatory medication, but my doctor took me off of it because I was having some problems that she thought was being caused by the medication.

Knee pain due to the weather.  I can exercise fine with no problem but if rain is coming and I'm asleep the pain will wake me up.

I have osteoarthritis in my knees.So I know how you feel..you can always tell when the weather changes..Which is why I like the warmer weather..Still hurt,but not as bad as it is when it's raining or cold.

hyaluronic acid is good for an arthritic knee.  I buy it online.
