Re: Herbal BF&C treatment for an injured knee, advice and comments would be very welcome

I had torn cartilage in one knee and found that the castor oil pack helped it.  I didn't warm the pack, I just made a small one and then wrapped it in plastic wrap around the knee.  It helped with the pain - sometimes.  I do a lot of walking and the knee eventually got worse so then had surgery to "repair" the cartilage which made it even worse yet and a couple of months later had knee replacement. (I've had both knees replaced.)  Found during the recovery process that the castor oil packs helped a lot.

It has taken a while for the knee to become fully functional/recovered from the replacement but I'm walking as much as I ever did before even the first replacement.  I do 3 to 5 miles a day with no discomfort.  The only thing I miss is that I'm unable to jog.
