Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory medication but do not use if you are taking medication for controlling blood pressure. Not on any meds for anything. Looks like a can have an online appointment this afternoon at the chemist

If you include coffee a lot but just plain water perhaps a glass or two on a good day. Unless it's really hot Try drinking less coffee and more water. A lot of people are dehydrated most of the time , that will cause inflammation due to the build up of uric acid in your joints. Just our way of life, we don't have joint pains .

Was reading about the demographics of the UK this morning, like you do. It appears that the birth rate in Scotland is perilously low. So if your knee is up to it, I suggest that you and ats make babies ASAP. Your (her) country needs you ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Ps. Don't tell her I suggested it.

If you need to you can buy Ibuprofen over the counter at the pharmacy - in two strengths 200mg or 400mg - in packets of 12. It's suggested you take up to 3 a day depending on the pain level for a max of a few days. It usually reduces inflammation too.

Well no amputations yet. I did the doctor online thingy at the chemists. Simple to do and she got the girl to press all over the area. I got lots of pills and a knee support. The first box in the picture one pill twice a day when eating. The second box take one of these if the first pill gives you stomach pains. Third box if all else fails this will stop the pain. If the knee is not as good as it was before x ray and blood test after four days. Will drink more water but I still think I must have twisted even though when I went to bed I was fine. ![](//storage.proboards.com/7229542/thumbnailer/AqlOCVmPaCeIgxjYFHtc.png) ![](//storage.proboards.com/7229542/thumbnailer/SeGjlsNaMQnzSvxZlHAC.png)

Go gently there .. lamaline is a morphine derivative, and diclofenac is stronger than ibuprofen.
I've had them both in the past.

Diclofenac is an anti inflammatory Omeprazole is PPI to ease stomach issues from the Diclofenac And the other is serious sh!t pain relief Don’t drive or operate machinery if you have to take it

Hope it settles down quickly, Mysty - nasty things, knees, when something goes wrong with them.

The pain is not that bad after I get up out of a seat my leg is stiff for a couple of minutes then eases up. First thing in the morning is the worst getting out of bed.

The last box will be going back to the Chemist.

150 something for the meds and knee support but only had to pay 47 then 6.20 for two drinks on the way back. The online doctor not sure on the cost of that it comes of your debit card. One word of warning if using the online doctor you need your online bank shoping code or you cannot get an appointment. We had to go home to get it.
