I fell sick from Osteoarthritis of Knee in 2007. Initially Cap. Piascledne was given which helped a bit, later on glucosamine, contratol etc. but pain remains on/off. Using Stairs prohibited and 15 minutes walk only resulting excessive weight, having 85 Kg with a height of 165 CMs and despite of continous medication, it is going worse and worse. Now I met a Doctor and he has injected some medicine which is quite expensive, imported from Germany to Saudi Arabia, costs $320. As per diagnosis of Doctor, there is no lubrication in the knee-joint making it stiff and movement is painful. This injection would be sufficient for 6 months. Let us see. But my question is to Alopathic treatment's result that despite of consultation of Rehumatism Consultant besides medication why my illness worsened instead of getting rid of it. It is pertinent to mention that I am living in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, and I have to enter office premises from 08:30 to 06.00 PM everyday in a central airconditioned building. Going back to home, sun disappears, structure of other bones is going weaker and weaker. Isn't it lack of Sun-Deficiency of Vitamin D, but it is tested and it is perfect. Then why bones are weakened despite of proper medication and good diet which consists of fish and vegetable besides few time's chicken.

Is there Any body guide me to get rid of present painful crisis? 

Sincerely,

TARIQ MAHMOOD
