Hi all, I need some advice...

My mum is 60 and had undergone a heart bypass surgery few years back and still taking medication for that. But now she had a serious knee joint hurting. I planning to purchase her some pills from local pharmacy. Any advice what to take to avoid?

Will there be any side effects combining joint hurting pills with other medication?

I don't know what otc types of pills you are planning on buying but any that are otc are not going to have much of an affect to them whether any. If your mom is having knee problems, they more often than not come from the tendon of the kneecap having shortened up. It pulls the kneecap up on and into the knee which then binds up and the pain is the next thing she feels. Her kneecap is no longer gliding over the knee with it being bound up like that. Here is how you can help her try to release that tendon in her knee so she can receive rid of the pain:
Kneecaps: Do while sitting on a chair with no front cross braces. While sitting have your leg resting in a stretched mode. Place both your thumbs, side by side, approximately 2 inches backside the kneecap and press down into your leg and then redirect the pressure a little towards the kneecap. After 30 seconds, slowly slide your foot back and under your chair as far as it will go, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds.
