I'm sorry to hear about the persistent pain in your left knee and back. Pain lasting for two months suggests it would be important to have a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
Your symptoms could be related to conditions such as arthritis, muscle strain, or spinal issues. For example, osteoarthritis or other inflammatory joint conditions can cause joint pain and stiffness, while back pain might be related to spinal disc problems or muscle strain.
A medication like Naprosyn (naproxen), which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is often used to reduce pain and inflammation in such conditions. However, it is important to use it under medical supervision due to potential side effects like stomach irritation or cardiovascular risks.
