Start by going to  your regular Doctor or an Orthopedist first to find out what is causing the pain after you have a diagnosis  then you will be able to make a decision about getting the proper treatment for the particular problem.

anti-inflammatories are good.\n\nI wouldn't suggest a chiropractor.\n\nWith all four of my pregancies my pain worsened every time...use a heating pad whenever you are laying down or "reclining".  Sleep with a pillow in between your legs, it helps for a lot of things even if you aren't pregnant.\n\nDepending on your current fitness activity too much can simply make it worse.\n\nin short...heating pad, anti-inflame drugs and sleep with a pillow in between your legs

If the pain is frequently, you shoud visit a doctor so you don't risk hurting your back anymore.  If you can afford one, think about working with a personal trainer to learn how to properly do the exercises so you don't hurt yourself.  If the back pain continues, see a chiropracter or get a massage to relax the muscles.

if you needed the therapy the doctor would have told you...you are going to have some pain and stiffness for the next few weeks but keep moving it!!!!

as a physical therapist,i recommend u to have hotpacks for 15-20 mins on the affected area for pain relief..secondly do some joint mobilization exercise x 10 reps x 2 sets .And lastly you should use a single tip cane on the unaffected knee for the reason to reduce weight on the affected area..

Be sure to talk to your doctor about this.  You may need some physical therapy to strengthen the knee.  If you are not happy with your doctor, seek another for a second opinion.  Life is short and you do not need to be slowed down by this disabling condition.

Another solution - have knee-replacement surgery!\nI suffered for years with my knees - always thought\nit would get better with everything I tried -but it did not.\nAbout 2 years ago I had both knees replaced, at the same time.\nBest thing I ever did. No more pain, walking, standing, bending knees, all in all, the best solution for me!

Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy can do you a world of good! Also, see your physician about getting physical therapy. Usually such pain is due to muscular weakness. Exercise can help you.

You should go back to your physician.  You could have a displaced tailbone. I would not recommend a chiropracter at this point.  Let your doctor look into it and if he recommends a chiropractor then go.  But I would ask your doctor to do any x-ray of your sacrum and coccyx bones to see if they are in position (those are the medical names for your tail bone).

Try a chiropractor or acupuncturist.

If you have health insurance, go see a Podiatrist (not an Orthopedist).  I have pretty bad pronation but I didn't know it and thought the pain was from an old injury.  I went to an Orthopedist because my knee hurt in addition to my ankles and feet.  He put me on stationary bike for a hour a couple times a week and billed my insurance company.  Didn't work at all.  Finally I went to a podiatrist, he took an x-ray, a plaster cast of my feet, and two weeks later I had custom insoles ($495 out of pocket, ouch) but no more pain anywhere.  I can-not recommend it enough.

If You have an unstable knee. Your pain is due to a mechanical problem and the problem at the patello-femoral joint. This could be because you seem to have neglected your exercise regime and post-operative instructions. It will be a little strenuous but you can build up your muscles around the knee joint and also at the hip so that you can get back to your normal gait. I would advise you to go to a local physiotherapist and learn your exercises.\n\n1. Relaxed knee swinging.\n\n2. Straight leg raising (later adding weights).\n\n3. Isometeric Quadriceps contractions.\n\n4. Knee flexion exercises and cycling (speed and time to be increased gradually).\n\n5. Progressive resisted exercises as per your progress.\n\n6. Hamstring stretching and strengthening.\n\n7. Aim at getting full knee extension terminally.\n\n8. Strengthening exercises for adductor and internal rotator muscles.\n\n9. Gait training.\n\n10. Gradually progress to kneeling, assisted squatting, stair climbing and descending and cross legged sitting.\n\n11. Aim at reducing your weight too. This is causing additional strain on your knee.\n\nYou will have to combine exercises and relaxation techniques in order to get maximum results.

Physical therapy should help - but how are they treating it?  There are many different approaches to this type of injury.  Has the PT tried different techniques/modalities?  Are you seeing functional improvement (able to sit/drive/read longer without pain) even though the pain is still there?  Talk with all your medical professionals about what you can do that is different.  If they can't help, maybe try to seek out a physical therapist that is an OCS (Orthopedic Clinical Specialist) or has certifications in manual therapy.\n\nTreatment should help.  If you are constantly going through treatment that doesn't help then you are just wasting money.  As a PT, if a patient does not show positive improvement in the first 2 weeks, I reassess their need to continue treatment and explore other treatment options.  If they still do not show signs of improvement, then I refer the patient back to the doctor or refer to a specialist.  If the doctor is your primary care, I would recommend seeing an orthopedic physician (BTW, did you have an XRay and MRI?).\n\nAlso, before using the term "Fibromyalgia" were you actually tested for it, or was it just a diagnosis someone threw out as a possibility.  It is a condition that has become a catch-all for people with chronic pain, but it may have nothing to do with your problem.

be careful and take care of your knees.  also make sure your muscles in the thigh are equally developed, i didn't do this and now the knee cap moves up and out over the end of the femoral head rather than in that groove where it's supposed to be causing bone degeneration and a lot of pain.  see your doctor and find out how to take care of yourself.  if you let knee problems continue you will be limited later in life with the activities that you can do.
