I need advise on knee and joint stiffness?

I need advise on knee and joint stiffness?Hi, I am hoping anyone has got some answers for me. For the last couple of weeks, when I wake up in the morning, my knees are stiff - it's painful when I bend them and difficult to climb stairs. It's worse in the mornings and gets better during the course of the day.

I doubt whether it has anything to do with gout as I have wine like maybe twice a month (sometimes not even) and I don't eat a lot of tomatoes or other "acidy" stuff... I am mentioning this, so that all replies don't say gout and I have other options to investigate as well. At this stage I am desperate and would really just like to be able to sort out the problem, as staircases are something I have to climb every day of my life at work....

Thanks in advance for any and all answers....

Hi:

Sounds like you have arthritis. You can take (Tylenol 8 hour) pills for arthritis. If that does not work try a tensor knee band. You can see your family doctor for cortisone shot. XRays will also help to see what is going on.

Good Luck
