For relief of pain and and for its anti-inflammatory effects, I use Traumeel homeopathic ointment. Very effective. Rub it in good and liberally three times a day. No known side effects, very safe, and far more effective than anything else I have found. I did not have similar success with the Traumeel liquid that is taken internally. I may have had a slight allergic reaction to the internal stuff, but no reaction to external application of the ointment.

Anyone have any suggestions for a sore and swollen knee? I think I sprained the darn thing when my Pug wanted to go out in the middle of the night, and in the dark I stepped on a bit of dog chewy. That hurt my wonky foot, so I stepped off it quickly, and came down funny. This was a couple of weeks ago, and since then it pops and snaps, and it hurts like holy hanna when it does! I have been keeping the hot pad on it and taking Ibuprofen occasionally. Seems to be the ligamenty thing that holds the kneecap on, as the pain isn`t deep in the joint. Ideas?? Marshalee
