If you get an excersize ball it works great to stretch on,  or theres a back press at the gym I use for mine, it strengthens my back and I havent had any pain in awhile.  I have bulging disks.  Also theres this stuff by Melaleuca, its called pain a trate it works great and its all natural.  Doesnt really smell horrible like Icy hot either.  Medicine is bad on your liver, but i've heard alternating tylenol and motrin to be effective.

It sounds similar to what we've been experiencing recently. My son's knee was hurting, but no swelling. The pain was excruciating and brought tears to his eyes when he was just using it. We found out that he had staph bacteria that had settled in his knee. We went to our family doctor who deals in natural medicine and he recommended some pills that took care of the pain and removed the staph. It worked a whole lot better than the prescription stuff doctors prescribe today. \nIf you're interested, I'll leave the email for this doctor. There may be similar doctors in your area. The company that deals with these pills is Standard Process out of Wisconsin. Everything they use is organically grown and is wonderful.\nI hope you get some relief soon!

Its the most common cause of cronic knee pain, it happens when the patella (knee cap) isnt aligned correctly and it slides over the lower end of the femur. It can be treated by working on the inner portion of the quadriceps muscle to help normalize the tracking of the patella

The bursa, fluid filled sacs that lubricate the joints, breaks and eventually you will lose this protection.  As you age, arthritis will settle into these joints and it won't be fun.

Because of the main staple in the Asian diet. Rice is known as fan, or foundation, of the chinese diet.\n\nRice, by tself is missing essential amino acids neccesary for proper occullar muscle formation.\n\nMexicans (central americans) experienced a similar genetic affliction due to their diet consisting mainly of corn.\n\nThe disease is known as polagra. When you mix corn and rice, or rice and beans, or corn and beans (any combo, thereof), you complete the amino chain and make a protein...\n\nThe effect of polagra has wound itself into the evolutionary chain for so long that the common, modern diet has little effect of revering the occular muscle contraction.

In the Hospital, We use the B.R.A.T. diet.\n\nB.R.A.T. is an acronym, which stands for:\nBananas,Rice,Applesauce and Toast.\nThese foods work well for controlling diarrhea because they are low in fiber and digestive residue.\n\n\n\n\nI would suggest you go to a Board Certified Gastroenterologist to determine the cause.

There are a few different types of arthritis but the one you have is probably "osteoarthritis". Osteoarthritis is inflammation due to degenerative changes from excessive loading of the articular surfaces of the joint. In your case, this has most likely occured due to your prior injuries, which places more stress on the cartilage in your knee, leading to degeneration and pain.\n\nThere is no true cure for this disease, however various surgical and medical means exist that may relieve your symptoms or slow progression.\n\nSurgery: If ligaments or the meniscus were torn in your old injury, surgical repair can restore some measure or congruity to the articular surfaces thereby reducing the progression of osteoarthritis. More drastic surgical measures include total knee replacement or osteotomies.\nMedical: Various types of anti-inflammatory drugs are worth trying and can relieve pain as well as reduce swelling. Newer drugs called glucosamines have come into the market which claim to slow the degeneration or even promote repair of the joint lining, although concrete evidence for these claims is controversial.\n\nThe best thing you can do now is to avoid straining your knees too much. Exercise can strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve your condition. However, take care to avoid high impact activities such as long-distance running etc. Swimming and cycling are very good alternatives to consider.

Surgery, but I had Bursitis and I kept moving it for 2 weeks and then got a cortisone shot in it and the Doctor told me the best way to prevent it from freezing up on you is to keep moving it. I sure know it hurt and felt like someone was ripping my arm off.

Overview\n\nPatellar tendinitis is an overuse injury that affects the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone (tibia). The patellar tendon plays a pivotal role in the way you use your legs. It helps your muscles extend your lower leg so you can kick a ball, push the pedals on your bicycle and jump up in the air.\n\nPatellar tendinitis occurs when you place repeated stress on your patellar tendon, often when you suddenly increase the intensity or frequency of your workouts. Stress causes tiny tears in the tendon, which your body attempts to repair. But as the tears in the tendon become more numerous, your body can't keep up, causing the inflammation in your tendon to worsen. Pain may be infrequent at first, but with continued stress and damage to the patellar tendon, the pain of patellar tendinitis can become a constant ache.\n\nPatellar tendinitis is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — for instance, basketball, soccer and volleyball players. For this reason, patellar tendinitis is commonly known as jumper's knee. However, since anyone can suffer from patellar tendinitis, whether they jump frequently or not, many doctors consider this term misleading. Terms used to describe recurring patellar tendinitis that causes further degeneration of the patellar tendon include patellar tendinopathy and patellar tendinosis.\n\n\nSigns and symptoms\n\nPain is the first symptom of patellar tendinitis. The pain usually is located in the section of your patellar tendon between your kneecap (patella) and the area where the tendon attaches to your shinbone (tibia). During physical activity, the pain may feel sharp — especially when running or jumping. After a workout or practice, the pain may persist as a dull ache.\n\nThe pain in your knee may:\n\nInitially be present only as you begin physical activity or just after an intense workout \nIncrease as you step up the intensity of your activity \nProgress to be present before, during and after physical activity \nMake going up and down stairs painful \nBecome a constant ache that can make it difficult to sleep at night \n\nCauses\n\nDoctors aren't certain what causes patellar tendinitis. It's believed that a combination of factors could be involved, including:\n\nStress on the patellar tendon. Repeated jumping is most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in the intensity of physical activity or increases in frequency of activity also put added stress on the tendon. \nTight leg muscles. Reduced flexibility in your thigh muscles (quadriceps) and your hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, could increase the strain on your patellar tendon. \nMisalignment of your leg. The way your leg bones line up could be off slightly, putting strain on your tendon. \nRaised kneecap (patella alta). Your kneecap may be positioned higher up on your knee joint, causing increased strain on the patellar tendon. \nMuscular imbalance. If some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis. \n\nWhen to seek medical advice\n\nIf you experience knee pain, try self-care measures first. If pain continues, worsens or interferes with your ability to go about your day, call your doctor.\n\n\nScreening and diagnosis\n\nYour doctor may be able to determine that you have patellar tendinitis based on your signs and symptoms. If the diagnosis isn't as clear, he or she may conduct tests to rule out other conditions. Tests and examinations might include:\n\nPhysical exam. Your doctor may apply pressure to different parts of your knee to determine exactly where you're experiencing pain. Pain associated with patellar tendinitis usually concentrates on the front part of your knee, just below your kneecap. \nSquat test. In order to reproduce your pain, your doctor may ask you to do squats — a type of deep knee bend — eith

I would definitely see your doctor. Most likely it's tendonitis. The thing to do would be to RICE it. Rest Ice Compression (with an Ace Bandage or something similar) and Elevation. You might also want to take some Ibuprofen or something similar to that. Get to your doctor before it gets worse though.

The correct spelling is "Vicar's knee"\n\nThis condition, like prepatellar bursitis, may occur after repeated friction between the skin and the patella. The popular name, clergyman's knee, indicates that it is due to a position where the patient kneels more erect than the position that causes housemaid's knee.\n\nTreatment of this condition involves firm bandaging of the knee and avoidance of kneeling. The bursa may need to be aspirated. In chronic bursitis a lump may require excision.

There are many components to the knee making it vulnerable for various types of injuries. Many injuries are successfully treated conservatively, while others require surgery to correct.  You should see a doctor as soon as possible as this is essential in case you may have suffered a ligament tear.  A tear would most likely require surgery if you are looking for a good long-term outlook. \n\nIn the meantime, follow a RICE program (an acronym which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation).\n\nMore info on the treatment of knee injuries on site below.
