If it's safe for you, you can take over-the-counter medications for back and knee discomfort. Physical therapy, gentle exercises, and hot or cold compresses can help reduce pain and improve mobility. See a physician if your pain is severe, ongoing, or accompanied by weakness, numbness, or swelling.

Even with medications, severe joint pain may be caused by autoimmune diseases, infections, or arthritis. Pain alleviation alone may not be sufficient for long-term joint injury or inflammation, disease-specific treatment may be necessary. To determine the underlying reason and receive the appropriate treatment, consult a physician for assessment, imaging, and laboratory testing.

Persistent pain in the wrist and thumb area may be due to tendon or joint issues. Continue using OSICARE DS and gel packs as prescribed, but if pain persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation or physiotherapy to aid full recovery.
