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!

I have the same issue:\n\nWhat exercises are the cause of the problem?  If it's running, than walk on the treadmill... up a steep hill.\n\nEven though your knee now hurts, some exercises might not.  For me, the eliptical machine and stationary bike don't hurt.\n\nRemember, when doing leg exercises, you don't want to straighten your knee at any time.  With leg presses, make sure your knee is always slightly bent.  In this way you are  using your larger thigh and calf muscles, and alleviating the strain on your knee.\n\ndon't run!

I've had shoulder trouble since I was a pitcher in high school. I've stopped throwing and have taken up weight training. The pain has literally disappeared. My suggestion. Stop all high impact activity on your knee. Do low weight bearing exercise. Focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee with weight training. Also do a lot of stretching and perhaps yoga if you are ambitious. I heard of a supplement that is supposed to be helpful for joint issues. Hyaluronic Acid. Best of Luck

Hi, I too have arthritis in both of my hips and my knees and my ankles and I am only almost 35. I was taking vioxx until they took it off the market. I know the pain that you are dealing with. I have tried every thing else that claims to aleviate the pain. I was only able to work 1 day on and one day off when i was working because when i did work 8 hours when I came home, I literally had to crawl on my knees I hurt so bad. I am so sorry that you are too in agony. I will tell you what I found that is the ONLY thing that has helped me. It is called Replenex. I get it through Melaleuca. It costs 9.99 for 90 tablets. You go to www.melaleuca.com or call 1-800-282-3000 and ask them for more information. This company has been around for 21 years so they are trust worthy and the products are good. Good luck, I hope you get this stuff, it is great.

I have RA and my knees hurt the worst. I also stand all day, and finally I have come up with a method that works for me. First, I wear high quality knee braces while I am working. They seem to give me support which helps. When I get home, I place a small dab of Tiger Balm on my knees and alternate heat and ice. I went to Walgreens and purchased the sock-type heating "tube". It is called Bed Buddy, or something like that. It was only 9.99. It is white and has 2 blue handles- the people at Walgreens should be able to help you find it. I know with my RA, I couldn't make one on my own. Also, this has soothing aromas like eucalyptus.\n\nI start out with the heat, then move on the the ice pack. Really, i use a frozen bag of English peas because they can mold to my knee. Its kinds intense at first, but after the first minute, it goes away. I usually do this process for 20 minutes per knee. It really does help me, and I hope it helps you.

I was diagnosed with this many years ago when I was much younger.  It kept me out of P.E. class for my Senior year in High School.  After I graduated I started a very demanding job being on my feet all day and lots of heavy lifting.  My knee problems went away.  I've had other difficult jobs since then and my current job keeps me moving, all day ( Not much lifting ).  Sometimes, I'll have mild pain in my knee, when it is at its worst I'll put on a knee brace, take some asprin and it's fine in a day or two.  I think being inactive was the worst thing for me and being active has helped.  Please be carefull, listen to what your Doctor says, your condition may be worse than mine ( or not ).  If the pain gets to be too much, take a break!

I had severely bruised both my knees in an auto accident.  It really messed up the sensation.  Like you, the structures were "fine", but since it injured the nerves, it took nearly a year to improve...actually, and at about 5 years it was about 75%.  Now, 15 years out, my knees feel good, but they're still not quite right and certain sensations a little strange.\n\nI would imagine that a little brief, gentle massage along with heat/cold/heat/cold alternating (2 mins@) every day would help to stimulate the nerves to regenerate more effectively.  \n\nIn the meantime, do whatever level of exercise that you can; this will speed healing.  Be patient, and remind your knees that it's safe to come out to play again!\n\nLove & Light!

I had Arthoscopy surgery back in Nov. I had a chipped bone and also had arthritis clean up. My knee still bothers me at times, are you in an immobilizer or anything to keep your leg straight? Or on crutches? Its going to take time for it to heal, knees have a long healing process.

i had knee pain to and i went to the physical therapist and they gave me a workout.  I went home that night, thru out the work out after 2 reps and bought a knee brace, a thin one just to keep the muscles warm, which i wore for a year and a half and i haven't had any pain since.  That was 4 years ago.  This is good for dull, stretched feeling pain, sharp pain is something that the trainers probably could help you out with.\nPS i only knew the work out was crap cause the workout they had given me for my shoulders the year before had gotten better by just working through it when i could and not using it while still getting the best workout when i couldn't.

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!

Stop running. \nGet new running shoes. This to fix the angle your foot hits the ground and to provide cushioning. \nGet orthotics. This to fix the angle your foot hits the ground.  Get a knee brace or support strap. This to keep your patella in its track. Taping. This is where taping is used to get the patella back into its track. Stretch. Some doctors recommend knee drops to build up the muscles around the knee. Weights. This to strengthen the muscles around the kneecap so it tracks properly. Avoid bent knee exercises. Straight leg raises and posterior (hamstring or calf) muscle stretches are best.\nMassage. Icing. Take anti-inflamitories. Try Glucosamine Sulfate.  They say it helps with joint pain and arthritis.  Try ginger.  A tea made of fresh ginger taken 3 times a day is supposed to help reduce inflammation.  Prolotherapy. This is where they inject some gunk into your knee and hope your body will react and cure the cause of the pain. Acupuncture. This is where needles are used to stimulate the body to repair itself. Physiotherapy. This is where the muscles are manipulated to bring the patella back into its track. Arthroscopic surgery. This is where they cut a hole and take a look around at what's actually going on under the skin\nShaving the patella. This is where they get in and smooth the surface of the patella with a knife. Lateral release. This is where they get in and cut ligaments to shift the way the patella sits.

Hi\nMichael Y gives you two possible causes of the pain.\n\nThe one thing that no one addressed is your hyperextension of your joints. I have the same problem. Depending on how many other of your joints are hypermobile you may have something called Ehler-Danlos syndrome. This isn't bad, it just means that you need to protect all your joints.  The experts recommend you wear sports braces on knees to stop the hyperextension. This eases the pain over time.\n\nHope you feel better. Pluse you don't 'indicate if you are male or female, but sometimes the pain is due to ''growing'' as the bones extend.\n\nFinally I would see a physician because there is a very RARE syndrome where the head of the fibula becomes de-vascularized and can cause knee pain and swelling.  This requires surgery to fix. Requires an x ray.\n\nGood luck
