Knee arthritis refers to the inflammation of knee joints. It can lead to pain in the knee along with swelling, stiffness, tenderness (pain on touching affected area), cracking or popping sounds on moving the knees, and restricted motion of the knee joint. In chronic cases, knee deformity may be seen.
There is an excellent scope to treat knee arthritis in homeopathy. Homeopathy primarily works in providing relief in its symptoms such as pain, stiffness and swelling of the knee. Simultaneously, it reduces inflammation in the joint and stops further damage to the joint thereby controlling the advancement of the disease. Homeopathic medicines prove effective in both acute and chronic knee arthritis cases. Homeopathic intervention done at the right time and stage can give highly promising results in knee arthritis cases. In mild to moderate cases, complete recovery may occur depending on the cause behind it. However, in severe cases, symptom management may occur though the degenerative changes that have already occurred cannot be reversed. In severe cases, these medicines can be taken along with allopathic medicines as well, as they do not interfere with their action.
Homeopathy works magnificently in cases of knee arthritis by treating the root cause behind it. As knee arthritis can arise from various causes like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injury, gout, etc, the action of homeopathic medicines is not superficial but quite deep that goes to the core of the problems targeting the root cause to provide wonderful results in such cases.
Homeopathic medicines are natural and safe to use which does not have any side effects. In conventional mode, medicines such as pain killers, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti – inflammatory medicines, corticosteroids, and DMARDs (disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs) are prescribed for knee arthritis as per the cause. These medicines give temporary relief, can make one dependent on them and also have various kind of side effects. The homeopathic system of medicine has an edge over conventional treatment by providing relief that is not short-lived but has a lasting effect and it does not create any dependency.
Homeopathic medicines are selected individually for every case after thorough case taking followed by deep evaluation. So, it is advised to take any homeopathic medicine for knee arthritis after consulting a homeopathic physician. Self -medication should not be done as the medicine prescription, potency, dosage and repetition varies from case to case and only a homeopath can be your best guide.

Causes Of Knee Arthritis And Its Symptoms
Before learning the causes of knee arthritis, let us first review the structure of knee joint. Knee is the strongest and the most complex joint in the body. It is responsible for bearing body weight and movement. It is made of bones, meniscus, muscles, ligaments and tendons. The bones that can get affected in knee arthritis include lower end of thigh bone (femur), upper end of a bone in leg called tibia and knee cap called patella in front of knee. Between thigh bone and tibia, two meniscus are present. Meniscus are C-shaped tough, rubbery cartilages that work as a shock absorber and stabilize the joint and prevent direct rubbing of bones against each other. Knee joint is surrounded by synovial membrane that releases fluid to keep the joint lubricated and reduces friction on movement. Small fluid-filled sacs called bursa are present in the knee joint that function to decrease friction between knee tissues during movement. Any of these components of knee can be affected in case of knee arthritis.
Knee arthritis can happen due to various reasons but the major causes are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis and injury (post traumatic arthritis).
1. Osteoarthritis
One of the most common causes of knee arthritis is osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Among the over 100 different types of arthritic conditions, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. This is most common in old and middle age. Osteoarthritis generally affects the weight-bearing joints such as the knee, but it may harm any other joint too.
What is the Cause and How does it affect the knee joint?
The real cause of osteoarthritis is not very clear. Medical researchers believe that it is due to a combination of factors that include aging, injury to the joint or stress, being overweight and genetic factors.
Osteoarthritis affects the knee joint by damaging the cartilage in the knee joint which slowly degenerates. Cartilage is made up of a protein substance that acts as a cushion between the bones of the joints. In advanced cases of osteoarthritis, the cartilage may disappear and the bones start rubbing against each other causing more pain. When bones start rubbing against each other, bony growth may occur around the joints.
Symptoms of knee osteoarthritis
In the initial stages of knee osteoarthritis, one may simply feel deep pain in the knee joint. As the problem advances, common symptoms include pain that is worse after an exercise session or weight bearing, swelling in the joint, limited movement of the knee joint, stiffness during periods of inactivity such as sleeping or sitting; cracking or grating sounds in the knee joint. As the damage to the knee joint worsens, the joint may become less movable and pain may occur even when the joint is at rest and can keep the person awake throughout the night.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
What is it? It is an autoimmune disorder resulting in joint pain, stiffness, swelling and decreased movement of joint. An autoimmune disorder means the immune cells start damaging the healthy tissue of the body due to a misdirected response. In most cases, RA starts from small joints but afterward affects large joints as well, including the knee. It tends to affect the same joint bilaterally (on both sides) at a given time.
Why and How it occurs?
The exact reason for it is not clear. However, it seems to begin from an interaction between genetic susceptibility (persons having HLA – DR1 and HLA – DR4 genes are at high risk of it) and environmental factors (some infection with virus, bacteria, smoking). In RA, inflammation occurs in the synovial lining of the synovial membrane and with progression causes destruction of the cartilage and the bone of the joint.
Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis affecting knee
1. Knee pain and swelling
2. Knee stiffness worse in morning lasting for an hour with gradual relief as day progresses, and after inactivity
3. Heat and tenderness in knee joint
3. Gout
What is gout and Why does it occur?
Gout means inflammation of the joint due to high uric acid level. This type of arthritis arises when uric acid crystals (monosodium urate crystals) collect in the joint. These are needle-like crystals that trigger inflammation and swelling in the joint. Though commonly it affects the big toe joint but can occur in other joints as well, including knee.
Symptoms when gout attacks the knee
1. Knee pain
2. Knee swelling
3. Redness, warmth and tenderness on knee
4. Injuries (Post-Traumatic Arthritis)
Injury to knee joint can also trigger arthritis referred to as post-traumatic arthritis, which can result in osteoarthritis. It may begin after an injury to ligament, meniscus tear or broken bone. The wear and tear makes the knee joint unstable and puts extra pressure on the joint that may develop into arthritis later.
How to diagnose knee arthritis?
The first test recommended to diagnose a case of knee arthritis is an X-ray of the affected knee. This test helps to find bone spurs, narrowing of joint space and other bone changes. In some cases, blood tests including ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and CRP (C-reactive protein) are advised to get an idea of the intensity of inflammation. In cases suspected of rheumatoid arthritis, blood tests including rheumatoid factor qualitative and Anti CCp (anti – citrullinated protein antibody) are recommended. If symptoms point towards gout, then a blood test to check uric acid levels may be recommended. In advanced cases, MRI or CT scan could be required to get more details of bones and to look into changes in the soft tissue of the joint.

Hello Dr. Sharma,
My mother is a sufferer of osteoarthritis pain. She has experienced pain in many places of her body; neck, back, hip, and knees. Her pain has been unbearable. No pain killer was able to bring relief to her. Most recently, she experienced a very intense flare-up in her both her knees. She received an injection to her right knee of a gel-like substance, called Syn-Visc or Mono-Visc not sure which of the two. She was told that if it worked, it could take up to two weeks to take affect. She was only able to get one knee done, because the injection was very costly, $450, that is not covered by the Province. I am hopefully that it may bring some relief to her, however I realize this may only be temporary until another flare-up, to the same area or another part of her body occurs. I would like to know more about Homeopathic Medicines for osteoarthritis, so that I may help her overcome her excruciating pain. Respectfully, Rose.

Iam 40year old Sir, my problem with knee earlier (from 2-3 years) it was in left knee and symptoms as same as you described above like cracking sound, stiffness, pain etc. now the same problem has started with right knee also sir ple.reply to me
Sir,I’m 52 year old,suffering from knee joint pain from last few months,please suggest to come out from that pain to
Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am a 54year old woman 1,74 height , 63 weight. Three months ago I felt my right knee like locking while going down the stairs and i also experienced pain on the right inner part of it especially when i was changin place in bed, when turning from the one side to the other. I did not pay the proper attention to it, I continued using the stairs quite a lot until in november I realized thta my knee was swallen both on its sides as well as above it and below it. It was hard to see my knee!. I had an MRI which showed: Starting degenerative deterioration of the bone structure especially in the midjoint area. Displacement of the kneecap(patella?) to the outer front due to subluxation which was caused due to extension and thinning of the medial collateral ligament as well as the lateral collateral ligament.
Also, Grade I -II deterioration of the back part of the inner meniscus, GradeI deterioration of the rest of the parts of both inner and outer meniscus. Also, sufficient quantity of effusion as well as distension of both the medial collateral and the lateral collateral ligament due to the liquid. The rest of the exam was normal!…
I went to my doctor who advised me to do physiotherapy in order to strengthen my quadriceps and hamstrings. I started beginning of january. I we nt everyday for three weeks and i saw improvement in my swelling but not complete cure. I went again to my doctor who advised me to continue for a motnh with the exercises but three times per week use ice three four times a day. If we do not see improvent after the month we will probably consider arthroscopisis which I do not want to do… My doctor would also prefer to avoid it because as he told me it causes arthritis. After two weeks of dong my exercises three times a week my swalling is still there , not worse but not better. My knee feels less heavy but gets tired very easily. I used to walk a lot in the past without problems but now after walking for a while or standing i feel my knee heavy and big. I also cannot fully bend my knee because of the fluid. I bend it up to a point quit close to the knee but not completely. My knee looks swallen but not red at all, it’s a bit warm, not much, in touch and the pain in the inner part is only when i change side in bed. When resting straight for a long time it gets stiff only in the beginning of the movement. I ve tried whith many homeopathic remedies but i have not seen an dramatic improvement. What i have taken is the following
Apis, arnica,pulsatilla, bruonia ruta and ledum. I do not think it worked. I then took rhus tox, causticum, ruts and sulphur. Again not improvemnt. Then i tried rhododendron, arnica, ruts and ledum. Nothing happened again. I believe in homeopathy. I do it since i was akid and i have used several times to my kids and husband. But this time i do not know what i do wrong…I forgot to tell you thst i also tske one capsule trumeric per day. To be honest the only thing i do not do much is lto give my knee a lot of rest. I’m working, office job, a lot of hours and i cannot put ice more tan twice per day during the week as well as i cannot rest my knee properly. I avoid stairs, i do not walk, only the necessary, i do not stand for a long time.. I do not know what else i can do. I’m a very active person and even the feeling of not being allowed to use the stairs or walk or go out shopping without getting tired , affects my osychology and mood. Thank you so much in advance for advising me on the homeopathic remedies you believe are most suitable for my case. I will be at your disposal should you have any questions related to my case.
Wit kindest regards,
Fay
