Get off drugs like coffee and coke and smokes. Learn to spend time on your knees for reading, TV and resting . Never never sleep on a couch. Flat beds and floors only. It takes a very long time for bones to heal themselves once they are set right but they will improve. For the rest of life you will have to adjust . Pain is the body's way of saying help. You can supply more oxygen by sponging with peroxide on the skin where it hurts.

I know you know about proper foot wear, so I won't go into that. I am an avid exerciser in cross-training, but I notice a particular difference in my knees when I do more strenuous exercise with them. I have started using Glucosamine/msm/Chondroitin. This comes in a combination pill and works on the joints to keep them fluid. Of course, you should consult your physician before you start anything new, but to my knowledge, they don't negatively interact with any medication.
If you decide to start taking these joint pills, know that they don't work immediately and you need to consistently take them for at least 2 weeks. I started out taking one a day, but I am able to take them up to 3 times a day if I need. I certainly DO notice the difference when I forget to take one. They are not addictive and I have only read good things about using them.
They are advertised on TV. You may have heard of them, but there are different varieties out there, so get what works for you.

I had arthroscopic surgery with microfracture a year ago and what a relief! Also, I get Synvisc knee injections every year now to keep the pain from returning.
You didn't say how old you were, but I was given the run around until finally a doctor x-rayed my right knee while I was standing which showed degenerative arthritis, the cartilage was almost non-existent there. Get a knee x-ray WHILE STANDING. I don't think it shows up if you're laying down on an x-ray table.
You're only 15? Good lord, looks like you'll be on pain killers for awhile if you want to continue running. I would give that up for awhile...did you allow sufficient time the injury to heal? Maybe that's why you're still having pain?
I hate the needles, they are the worst part, but it only last a few seconds and the result lasts almost a year. So, for me it's worth it. Better than suffering. The substance comes from rooster combs, that little red waddly thing that hangs down over their beaks. It's not like you have to eat it or anything. It's just something that's similar to the cartilage it's replacing.

I'd say with a torn meniscus and the other symptoms (patella femoral syndrome and especially the growth from a bone) you would need surgery, at least arthroscopic surgery. I'd personally find a new doctor. I've had major surgery on both of my knees for patellar realignment and they have been fine ever since - no medicine. Please, get a second opinion. Ask around to see if anyone can recommend a good orthopaedic doctor - a sports medicine doctor would be great. (My doctor is the head doctor for the Indianapolis Colts!) Wishing you well.

Basically all I can think of to do is heat and a brace..some moderate exercise. But with your history it seems best to call your doc.

www.arthricine .com Have you tried those heated wraps while you run. I think once you have hurt your knee or back the pain never goes away! Type in Knee pain no pills on the search bar and it will give you some natural remedies!

it's is good that u stopped running. u should not strain ur body that too ur legs any more.
u can apply super power magnets 4500 gauss, south pole under the left [blue] sole, and north [red] pole under the right sole,
u can take magnetised water by putting two bottles of water one on the south pole, and another on the north pole, and mix this water with 4 bottles of drinking water and consue it the entire day.
u can apply ayurvedic medicine externally. if u want we can despath it by courier for instant relief, u should be free from pain killers. otherwise, . in the long run, they does more harm..

Have a chiropractor check your feet. If your feet dont splay open when they strike the ground, then that impact has to go somewhere, and usually ends up causing knee problems.
You are running and pounding on your knees. By the way, before you see a chiropractor ask them if they work on feet. Some dont.

Natural Anti-inflammatories may be a good idea. It seems many knee issue are greatly exacerbated by inflammation.
Turmeric spice is one anti-inflammatory, Turmeric is the spice in mustard that gives it the yellow color.
Apparently extracts of Turmeric are available for inflammations.

GO see a MASSAGE THERAPIST.The reason why your right knee is hurting now is because you used it more when the other leg was injured.You should let it heal naturally.And the meds you are taking are only letting your brain think it doesn't hurt anyore when it really does.Pain is there to let us know that we shouldn't move that area.It takes alot onger for your meniscus to heal.They are here for support for your knee Joint.They act as shock absorbers for you femur and tibia bones.Good-Luck and tell the doctor to STOP giving you pain-killer meds...that's wrong.
