Treatment of knee pain depends on the cause of the knee pain. If you have been working on your knees all day then potentially rest and anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen can help. If the cause is trauma and there is possible joint damage then you should seek medical attention.
Chronic knee pain is often attributed to inflammatory arthritis associated with an autoimmune disorder of the joints. Occasionally, knee pain is a symptom of an infection or bone tumor. Pain relief drugs are used as the primary treatment for knee pain. However, mild to moderate knee pain responds to drug-free treatments. Natural treatments can easily alleviate acute knee pain.
