From a pharmacy standpoint: take either 500mg of naproxen or 800mg motrin (but not both), plus 325mg of Tylenol, plus your favorite caffeinated soda. Should help relieve the pain.

Gah it went away but next time ill remember that thanks! It sounds sciencey so im assuming you know your stuff.

Ibuprofen and a ice pack. If it persists see a chiropractor to get adjusted.

MisterJH · April 02, 2014, 09:50:43 PM

I cant take ibuprofen, it inhibits bone/cartilage growth and right now im only going to be able to run again if god favors me and miraculously heals both my bones in my knee and my shredded cartilage. Ibuprofen could very well cripple me for life

Motin is out then also. What happened to your knees?

rarehuntertay · April 02, 2014, 10:27:04 PM

Ah. That leaves out my treatment then also

Tea should still work though

MisterJH · April 02, 2014, 10:35:29 PM

Lmfao^

I severely tore my meniscus in 2 places as well as destroying a majority of the cartilage in my knee due to malpractice by my GP who misdiagnosed me both times, despite me telling him i believe i tore my meniscus. Twice. Twice he advised me to continue playing. Now i may never recover.

MisterJH · April 02, 2014, 11:03:54 PM

Im way ahead of you, im probably 50% acetamenophine or however the heck its spelled haha

MisterJH · April 03, 2014, 06:55:53 AM

My doctor is the reason my knee is so screwed up, i dont have a doctor currently.. We need to find another.. Also i may sue the bajeebers out of him

rarehuntertay · April 03, 2014, 08:06:06 AM

If you sue the bejeebers out of him, can you send me a beat up set of Power 9?? Lol j/k
But yeah, some doctors are crap. Took mine about 4 years to find out I have micro fractures in my patella. So I can relate to you. Good luck and I hope you do recover!!!
