I seem to always be hunched over with my elbows on my knees; this gives me those ugly red round spots on my knee’s … plus I’m sure this isn’t good for my posture.  Any suggestions?

throw your shoulders back when you sit. True, your chest will stick out a bit, but it will keep you from hunching forward.

I have the same thing in my elbows when I do push-ups. That did happen to me once in my knees. I had been over-exercising my body, not giving my self enough time to rest. The popping started first, then I got tendinitis in both my knees. \nI would recommend thinking about finding another exercise to stay in shape. The popping sound is the sound of your ligaments and tendons snapping across your bones. To much of that repetitively, and you will cause damage.

Go to your local metal smith and have him make you a set of non movable braces for your elbows. Once you put them on you will not be able to bend your elbows. Thus you will have to toss all your food into the air to get it in your mouth. I am guessing you will get tired of food landing on your face. Which will lead you to only eat when you are actually hungry therefore loosing weight.

I've had and my knee doctor told me to rest it by not doing running or anything like that since that is what causes it.  You also need to strengthn the knee muscles.  what you should do is buy leg weights and slowly get up to like ten pounds ten reps 3 sets of straight leg raises with foot slightly turned out a bit.  knee braces will help you out a lot my knee doctor told me to get custom made ones and they are worth the money since they fit the knee and help them.  also get shoes with good arch supports since that also tends to be the problem.

Try doing crunches from a sitting position, in a straight backed chair. You get the same results, with much less discomfort to your back. You just need to pull your knees up toward you and let them down slowly. It works wonders!

try doing them on a strap bar (if you have one)...or on low bar with your coaches spot...to get used to the around the bar thing...then try moving up to the high bar...just remember to keep your elbows straight...because if you dont make it over..the worst that happens is you land on the other side..if you bend your elbows..well, just dont bend them...stay tight and believe in yourself. good luck!

it is possible, \nbut the location of swelling rises the suspection for other knee disorders too, you'd better to see your doctor(orthopedist or rheumatologist) , s/he may do some tests and tell you what to do.

bicep curls and their negatives to balance... gotta do the negative/resistance part of the curls too! And yes more on triceps!\nBend at the waist and prop up a knee on something, going one arm at a time, put the weight behind your back and lift it straight out, checking your alignment. Then there is always pushups...give it some thought.

ouch!  sounds like maybe sciatica.  Tylenol may help, but I use Ibuprofen (advil, motrin, etc) for my chronic knee pain.  But yeah, definitely talk to your doctor\n\nEDIT:\nSorry, I just noticed you asked for NATURAL remedies.  Theres this stuff I use, its called Traumeel.  You can get it at most  "natural" stores.  its all herbal.

The best thing to do, since no one on the questionnaire thing here can actually see your knee, is to call you Dr. and try to go back and tell him about any concerns or problems. I think it would be unwise to accept any medical advise from any one except a qualified M. D. Oh and ask him about rehabilitative water therapy. Like water aerobics!  Its very low impact and highly recommended for people with your nature of injury! Good luck    Kareena

it has nothing to do with being a couch potatoe. My knees do that and so do my moms and we are active people. \n\nThis website says something about it, i havent read it yet though. see if it helps.\n\nhttp://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/injuries/a/aa092500.htm

do some lat pulldowns and upright rows.  those always kill my upper back.  also try some shoulder shrugs.

My doctor told me to load up on calcium.  I also do sort of a yoga position.  It looks like that statue of Brittany Spears having her baby.  You're on your hands and knees with your arms forward.  It helps get into a comfortable position for a while.

i've had the occassional Purse Pinch but it's never been too painful. i wear those jockey shorts and still get some low bridges now and again....\ni'm pretty sure it's just a grin and bear it situation...you could always try adding a little extra swing when you go to sit down...might want to practise first so it doesn't look like you start dry humping the air but it may help if you have this happen all the time...\n-nny

As a PT, I've dealt with many patients 'sidelined' by knee pain. It all depends on what specifically is occurring in your knee (the joints above and below can also be a contributing factor). A physical therapist will examine you thouroughly and establish an exercise program/regimen to assist you in your recovery as well as provide manual therapy if indicated.  PT is a great option for you for any neuromusculoskeletal problem. :)

I have the same problem, no matter how much i scrub, my elbows still look black.  I finaly figured out what to do and now i dont have that problem any more.\nI know it sounds crazy but it works ok.     Go to walmarts (in pet supply's) or to your local farm supply store and buy a can of BAG BALM it is in a square green can with a cows head surrounded by rose's on top of the lid, it also says Vermonts Finest around the outer edge of the can lid.    Rub this on your elbows and knees after each bath, you will get results after only a couple of days, it is medicated and it works very good
