### Patient: Doctor, I hurt my knee playing football and it's been giving me trouble for weeks. What medication do I need?
### Doctor: You need a combination of medications to get relief. Chondroitin-Glucosamine will help with joint pain and help you rebuild cartilage. Cortisone will help decrease inflammation and swelling. Piroxicam and Nabumetone will also help reduce inflammation and pain. Pentazocine (Talwin) is a pain reliever that should also help, but use it with caution as it can be addictive. Alendronate-Cholecalciferol will help increase bone density if you have any weakened bone associated with the injury. Moexipril is good to control high blood pressure that you may experience due to medication side-effects, and Desflurane will be used during any surgery or procedure you may have to control pain.
