Osteoarthritis knee

I have pain in both my knees, spl. the right knee , in the inner side.

My knees crack a lot when they move.

The pain increases when I try to get up from a sitting position , walk, stand or climb stairs up and down.

relief when I sit.

Feel like putting hot applications on the pain area.

Pain feels like a boil inside the knee.

X ray report says it is due to loss of cartilage.

the knee pain extends down until ankle ans also feels on my heels after I have walked for sometime.

I have pain in my lower back too, which increases when I lift weight or walk.

my stool is normal.
I get a feeling of a lump in my chest , , espcially at night, if I eat oily things.

All the above problems have been for more than seven years.

I am 60 yrs female , height 5.1' and
weight 170 lbs. I have flabby muscles.

fair skin, light eyes, black hair.

I am sensitive to heat and cold. like to take mild hot and mild cold food and mild spicy food.

I like sweet milk, sweet and salty food. Thereis no particular aversion or craving.

I have a extremely dry skin all over my body, cracks on heels, but oily hair and nose.

I am a sensitive person . have a tendency to postpone starting of any new task.

I am currently taking medicine for hypertension and thyroid.

I have done exercises suggested by drs and taken Rhus Tox 200 , twice.

Pain is still there making it difficult to walk and work.

Pl. suggest some medicines.


thank you.
