Three drug-free remedies for knee pain you may not have heard of.
1. Pulsed electromagnetic frequency (worn)
2. Collagen protein (ingested)
3. Cetylated fatty acid (topical)
Knee pain is one of the most common pains in the body. It can occur from injury, post-surgically, or with repeated stress.
Common knee conditions are sprained ligament, meniscus or cartilage damage, tendonitis, bursitis, or wear and tear related to arthritis. Some people can develop knee pain caused by an irritated nerve in the back. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking, and popping. 700,000 meniscus surgeries are performed per year despite 3 randomized controlled trials showing no benefit vs sham surgery or PT. A similar number of knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S. One third of knee replacement patients continue to have pain and one in five is dissatisfied with the results.
The three drug free remedies discussed are:
1. Pulsed electromagnetic frequency

Low levels of electromagnetic radiation, charge the mitochondria, increase cellular energy, reduce inflammatory chemicals.
PEMF could alleviate pain and improve physical function for patients with knee and hand OA
2. Collagen

Collagen peptides
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides
Source from bones, hide, eggshell membrane, fish collagen
10g-12g/day in coffee, water, or smoothies
3. Cetylated fatty acid cream

`Reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, changes in membrane fluidity and signal transduction pathways reducing the proteoglycan degrading enzyme activity, and release of leukotriene B4 from neutrophils have been hypothesized.
-it can be safely prescribed as self- and on-demand treatment.
-In conclusion, the administration of topical CFA may mitigate the most common symptoms in knee OA.
-Findings suggest that topical CFA is effective in all knee OA patients with slightly higher evidence for those with advanced disease.
Dose; apply twice a day, 1-2 mos
If not of these help after 1-2 months then it may not be the treatment for you.
