Osteoarthritis in my knee

Hi l've been diagnosed recently with osteoarthritis of the knee any suggestions on pain relief. I currently take lbuprofen gel and painkillers sometimes paracetamol or cocodamol. Some days this works some days they Don't. Also the pain is very painful at night whilst trying to go sleep.

Thank you

Regards

Sandra.πŸ™‚

    Hi.

    My Doctor prescribed Naproxen taken with Omeprazole ( to protect the stomach lining ) is quite effective for me.

    Perhaps you could speak to your Doctor and see if they can give you some pain relief which can be taken later in the day to help with the pain at night?

    Sometimes I put a small cushion between my knees to get comfortable at night. There may be other people on here who can give advice regarding sleep aids. They may not work for everybody, but it is worth a try to get a decent night sleep. πŸ™‚
