Knee pain and swelling
I am 45 years old. From last 1 month I am
experiencing knee pain. Although it is not continuous, it aches when I sit and get up or when I stand for a long time. Sometimes it gets struck and I feel like I would break my leg if I step forward. I had taken 10 tablets of Acemiz s. I felt relieved for that time but after the course of 5 days, the pain has not got any better. There is slight swelling. Please help thanks
