Knee Pain, help please?

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

You could have inflamed cartilege.\nSee a doc and do an mri of the knee. That should tell him if there is an inflamation due to a tear.\n\nIn the meatime try an antiinflammatory drug like aleve.

maybe you should go to a doctor because its not normal to have this kind of pain for 6 days in a row,, i had a lesion on both knees, and whenever i exercise too much or something, I end up having this kins of pains but for 3 day or so,, maybe the best is to go to a doctor

well first off stop doing things to make it hurt, then u can always get a knee brace and take some pain pills  or just think of something or someone else to keep ur mind off of the pain

you met a minor inflammation.  Dont worry it can be cured.  please apply MOBIX ointment on the knee and surrounding area.

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.

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.

Congratulations on the win!\n\nPity about your knee. I think you should do two things:\n\n1 If this is persistent, get some advice from a good sports physio or a specialist doctor. It doesn't sound within the normal range of post-ride aches and pains.\n\n2 Change your pedals for a set with more float - both frogs and eggbeaters are good in this respect. Maybe even consider returning to platforms. Try a few vigorous training rides on platforms and see if this cures the problem. \n\nIf you have the typical woman's wide pelvis your knee joints will be inwardly rotated to a greater degree than some (straight up and down) women and most men. You require the maximum floatability because the anatomical relationship in the length from hip joint to knee joint causes a lot more rotational movement of the long female femur. \n\nDon't risk your knees, you'll spend more than half your life regretting it. I speak from experience. I'm a lifelong mad-keen cyclist. Now I'm in my mid-50's a ride every day with clicky knees and a dull, precisely bounded pain somewhere in the medial side of my right knee joint. Getting up stairs is painful for me and sometimes so acute I think my right knee is going to give way. Its a heavy price to pay when I still have maybe 35 years cycling left in me.

ice first only if there's swelling.  ice reduces swelling and heat helps with the pain.  and get it checked out by a doctor.. i hurt my knee FOUR years ago and never did anything about it.. recently i just had surgery to fix a tear in my medial meniscus.  seriously.  good luck!

could be your mcl or lcl... ligaments that are on the outside of the knee.. Really should see a doc.

Depends on what you did to your knee that caused the pain- and you call a doctor for an evaluation, because many things can have gone amok:)  If the pain is acute, go to an Emergency Room.\n\nFirstly, if you inured it, the rule of thumb is RICE\n\n    *  Rest: Resting is important immediately after injury for two reasons. First, rest is vital to protect the injured muscle, tendon, ligament or other tissue from further injury. Second, your body needs to rest so it has the energy it needs to heal itself most effectively.\n    * Ice: Use ice bags, cold packs or even a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a thin towel to provide cold to the injured area. Cold can provide short-term pain relief. It also limits swelling by reducing blood flow to the injured area. Keep in mind, though, that you should never leave ice on an injury for more than 15-20 minutes at a time. Longer exposure can damage your skin. The best rule is to apply cold compresses for 15 minutes and then leave them off for at least 20 minutes. (Read The Proper Use of ICE).\n    * Compression: Compression limits swelling, which slows down healing. Some people notice pain relief from compression as well. An easy way to compress the area of the injury is to wrap an ACE bandage over it. If you feel throbbing, or if the wrap just feels too tight, remove the bandage and re-wrap the area so the bandage is a little looser.\n    * Elevation: Elevating an injury reduces swelling. It's most effective when the injured area is raised above the level of the heart. For example, if you injure an ankle, try lying on your bed with your foot propped on one or two pillows. \n\nAfter a day or two of R.I.C.E., many sprains, strains or other injuries will begin to heal. But if your pain or swelling does not decrease after 48 hours, make an appointment to see your primary care physician or go to the emergency room, depending upon the severity of your symptoms.\n\nOnce the healing process has begun, very light massage may improve the function of forming scar tissue, cut healing time and reduce the possibility of injury recurrence.\n\nGentle stretching can be begun once all swelling has subsided. Try to work the entire range of motion of the injured joint or muscle, but be extremely careful not to force a stretch, or you risk re-injury to the area. Keep in mind that a stretch should never cause pain. For proper stretching technique, review Flexibility Exercises.\n\nHeat may be helpful once the injury moves out of the acute phase and swelling and bleeding has stopped. Moist heat will increase blood supply to the damaged area and promote healing.\n\nFinally, after the injury has healed, strengthening exercises can be begun. Start with easy weights and use good form. See Strengthening Exercises.

I bet if you stand straight, your feet flare lateraly.  This is putting stress on the MCL.  Also, the fact that you don't do any strengh training that works your legs could be the very reason your knees hurt.  What do I mean, well, the way you walk, your posture, if you run on concrete, could all cause your knees to hurt.  The best way to keep them healthy is to make sure you use new shoes (esp if you run), try orthotics (will help to correct your standing and walking posture), Have someone evaluate your GAIT(and orthapedic dr. will not do any of this) and start working out your legs.  I love watching people in the gym abuse their upper body, but neglect their legs.  Then never wear shorts at the gym.  Large upper body, spindily little legs.  If you work your legs, your muscles will protect your joints.  I love the argument that "lifting legs will make you slow"  Look at olympic sprinters legs.  Then try to tell me they don't do squats, deadlifts, etc.  Yes, working out legs is hard work, but why are you in the gym.  Squats, deadlifts, Calves, quads.  Get working on it.  Make sure someone who knows what they are doign shows you how to prevent injury.  Squats are great, with proper form, deadlifts and ab work will protect you low back, Quads and hams will help with knees and low back.  Plus, get good with squats and make the meatheads in the gym jealous because they wished they could be that strong.  At 180 lbs, I can squat over 400 lbs and I do not have an ounce of back or knee pain.  Have fun.

If you recently injured it is likely in an inflamed stated i.e. red, hot, swollen, and painful.  So the best way to handle that for the next few days is RICE (rest ice compression elevation) \nrest- take it easy respect pain and don’t do any thing that hurts it you can make it worse, but you should still be active because too little activity can cause your muscles to atrophy and cause more problems besides your knee will like the blood flow just be smart and slow\nIce - get an ice pack and use it for about 5-15/hour minutes whenever the pain goes away and you have a little bit of a numbing effect ice is a natural anti-inflammatory.\nCompression maybe an ace bandage around the knee NOT VERY TIGHT! You can wrap it while you ice to help limit swelling\nElevation when you ice or are just kicking back elevate your knee but that only works when you get the knee higher than your heart, elevating will help with swelling as well

Swimming. That's what I did. I have bad knees also, and after swimming, I don't have as many problem. And swimming doesn't hurt them, because you aren't putting pressure on them. I hope your knees get better. Have an awesome day :)

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!
