Repair of teenager's cartilage loss
My 14 yr old son has knee pain for past 6 days, so I consulted an orthopaedic Dr. The doctor whom we met last night said that son's leg pain (MILD) is due to cartilage loss in his right knee. Since the boy is 106 kg, obesity has put stress on his right knee.
Looking at boy's x-ray, he has prescribed:
1. *Alfa B2* ( Boswellia serrata extract and native collagen type II)
2. *P Dol SP*
3. *Flugesic - P
But my point is that cannot a young teenager's collagen rebuild by itself?? Does he need all the above meds?
