Can anything be done about knee arthritis for an athletic teenager?
So, my 17 year old daughter, who has been playing basketball for 10 years. She is 6’1" and about 200 lbs. She’s been having problems with her knees swelling and a lot of pain. Well, I took her up to U of M to see an orthopedic surgeon who requested an MRI for her knees. The next day she called to say that my daughter has arthritis and that nothing could be done about it. Can this be true? She really wants to continue playing basketball when she goes to college, but the pain is getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an athlete?

First thing you are supposed to do is avoid pain killer meds. Now you will come to know the pain grade.
Second thing is rest. Avoid all types of stress and strains on knee joints. Your daughter is young and she can escape out with proper guidance only, because –
There is no medicine for RA, OA, H/A, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 90% success in treating ALL PAINS confirms it.
Third is Acupuncture; it is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
(Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.)
Fourth is Naturopathy. Some herbal pulps, hot mud bandages around knee will help.
Pure ghee drawn from butter is the best lubricant; pl use it in both meals.
Milk, cocoanut, sprouts, and salads will also help.
But remember rest will be the best.
