Yes, it will certainly help! My mum has serious problems with her knees and back, my sister has knee problems and so does my brother. So that is 3 out of 4 siblings that have problems and even my cousins, one of them has had several joint replacements in his 20's and he's looking at more surgery for his elbow. A family history of it means that you are more than likely to suffer from it too and unfortunately it takes pointing this out for some doctors to take you seriously.
I'm really suffering with my left hip too, it constantly clicks and rotates too far, I'm really stuck with the stairs. I'm getting rehab to come out to me. It's weird that all of my joints will lock up, I have to crack them to get them to move and the pain varies from mild to bloody painful. I have really bendy joints but no diagnosis only that my joints are arthritic but nothing to explain why my joints move so much. I dislocated my shoulder by putting my hand on a chair to sit up from off the floor and it clunked back in and has never been the same again, my x-ray shows signs of arthritis in it now. I'm seeing a specialist on the 26th to find out what the hell they can do.
How are you doing pain wise? I'd not bother with Nurofen if it's just ibuprofen just get the generic it is exactly the same but lots cheaper. Ask your doctor if you need more pain relief there are better NSAID's like diclofenac or they could go with co-codamol which is a higher dosage than over the counter co-codamol. Another route is amitriptyline which can help with pain but isn't a painkiller. There are mixes that you can take, a chemist will tell you how to effectively use more pain relief if you need it or a doctor can prescribe you something more suitable. Ibuprofen isn't really good long term, you can get people who take it for years and will be okay or those who take it two weeks and end up with ulcers.
Get your GP to order x-rays and a choose and book form to see a specialist and go from there. Don't leave it, I did and now I'm on five different types of painkillers. Push because you know your body best and it is your right as an NHS patient to be taken seriously and to get the correct care if they don't then go higher up because they are breaching their duty of care to you.
If you could see yourselves... We had it all. We have fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful... We're screw-ups. I plan on staying a screw-up until my late twenties, or maybe even my early thirties.
