I have PCOS which already causes a lot of joint aches, so I have to be very careful. Warm compression really helped my knee pain last winter. Please don't rely only on internet tips, check with a doctor to find the exact cause.

I don't know much about medicines, but losing a bit of weight worked wonders for my knee pain. It reduced the heavy pressure on my joints, making walking much easier and less painful.

Hello beta. For arthritis pain, try massaging the joints gently with warm sesame oil mixed with a little camphor. It is a very safe home method that provides good relief. Also, make sure you don't sit in one position for too long.

My knees sound like a packet of potato chips cracking every morning! Honestly, a hot water bag is my best friend. Just apply it for fifteen minutes and the joints are ready to go again.
