It's for an elderly lady with very bad arthritis in her knee.It's giving her gyp at the moment . She cannot face the idea of an operation to replace her knee which has been offered.
She's already on methotrexate , so cannot take oral ibuprofen. Anything with codeine in it makes her very sick , as does tramodol. Any ideas would be welcome.
GP is happy for her to use ibuprofen gel on her knee, wondered if there was anythig better.
Thanks.
they would be attached to the district nursing team... as it would be a nursing function...worth asking at least... but I'd certainly look at the community physios first
