Re: Chronic Arthritis Knee pain

Dealing with chronic knee pain caused by arthritis is truly exhausting and I completely understand your frustration. I went through a very similar situation after a knee injury that eventually led to arthritis, making even basic activities like walking or sleeping a challenge. Like you, I struggled with the lack of effective pain management options, as traditional anti-inflammatory medications were not an option for me. What helped me the most was a combination of specific physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and some non-pharmaceutical treatments. Strengthening the muscles around my knee, using cold therapy for inflammation, and making small changes such as adjusting my sleeping position and wearing a knee brace helped significantly relieve the pain.
One thing that made a big difference was seeing a knee specialist who focused on long-term solutions rather than just pain relief. While I know every case is different, finding a specialist who understands the complexity of arthritis can be a game-changer. I was treated by Dr. Pablo Gelber, a knee traumatologist, and, through a combination of rehabilitation exercises and treatment options, I was able to regain mobility and reduce my pain levels. If surgery is not an option for now, I highly recommend exploring alternative treatments such as viscosupplementation (hyaluronic acid injections) or even personalized physical therapy. Don't lose hope: There are ways to improve your quality of life, even if the road to relief takes time. I wish you strength and better days ahead!
