A person's foot starts to turn in then their knee becomes very painful and feels as though it wants to give way. If the person bends the knee like when sitting on your leg in a chair, or when on hands and knees in the floor then goes to stand up--the knee doesn't straighten completely without hurting really really bad. What is causing this??? What kind of treatments can this person expect when they go to the doctor??

To repply correctly it is necessary to examine a patient. It seems that the problem has become chronic and is in last stage therefore knee replacement is the solution; whereas you can approach a skilled acupuncturist or try our treatment, there is a little hope.

Could be arthritis, torn cartilage or meniscus, polio, or something else. Marijuana or joint replacement might help if it's arthritis. If it's other, expect a reccomendation of surgery. It will take a few hours. Then 6 to 30 weeks of recovery.

Joint pain or stiffness of the joint may be caused by overexertion, injuries, arthritis, muscle pain,bursitis and other diseases. Depending on the cause of the joint pain, joints on both sides of the body and small or large joints may be affected. Some types of joint pains can be completely cured but for other types of joint pain (like pain caused by osteoarthritis), treatment will only reduce the pain.
