There seems to be a modicum of medical knowledge within the forum - my question is - I have replacement joints, consisting of nylon and titanim, in both knees and they are now troubling me - do I treat them with WD40(a spray on lubricant) or Ibuprofin 🙄 😉

Try the Ibuprofin first, if that don't work, WD-40 fixes anything. Seriously though, if they bother you for a long time, get a doc to look.

Well my dad's friend didn't spray WD40 on his knees, but his computer! 😂

Well you can call the doc.

Ibuprofin (Advil) reduces swelling (Inflamation), I just finished a weeks worth of 600 3 times a day for a pulled tooth.
Plus other meds.
I'll send a bill in the morning! 🙄

Go to a Doc, your better off then with us.

I'm afraid your advice is all wrong - took a dram or two of malt and all the pain disappeared and it was enjoyable too 😂 But thanks anyway 😉

I did test it - and it gets better all the time - after the 14th, I felt grand and didn't feel any pain at all - slept all night too Sleep Sleep Sleep
