Knee pain without injury

[BabyBlade]

I've been having knee aches for the past month. Doctor Google told me it's osteoarthritis. My symptoms are painful and stiff joints, especially in the morning when I wake up or after a prolonged period seated. Awfully painful to straighten and bend my knees. Any advice other than seeing a doctor which I will once I can afford the luxury of time?

You should go see a doctor asap, not waiting until you can afford the time, this is where many of us get our peiority wrongly.

Used to have this problem, couldn't sleep when painful. 

I did n proven to work for me, reduced weight, light training, strengthen leg muscles, jogging, stand regularly instead of sitting in office... now no problem. Once in a week, I will take supplement, Blackmores Joint Formula. 

Used to use KneeHeat for tmp pain relief. Effective for me.

Are the other joints involved or only the knees?

Any recent change in activities or new sports?

any family history of rheumatoid arthritis?

Any weird skin rashes?

Fever?

I think see specialist and see physio better. This type of mobility issue if don't handle properly, old age is terrible. Cannot move, cannot exercise to gain back mobility.

Do knee flexibility exercises, followed by strengthening of quads and hamstring muscles.

For flexibility training, sit in full lotus position while watch reading. Then when watch TV, sit with bum on your heels. At first it will be difficult, but over time your knee joint will be flexible. While walking, walk with your feet pointing straight ahead. Do not point outwards.

After the pain goes away, do the muscle strengthening.

I believe you are still quite young so not sure if you do have osteoarthritis. Best is go see specialist. GPs can't help as this is specialist treatment. 

My physiotherapist did tell me that many of us white collar worker sit for too prolonged a period at a stretch and thus, our glutes and hamstrings have weakened much. Our glute is a big muscle that many of us don't activate much. When we move, we therefore then tend to rely on the other leg muscles, putting a lot of strain on the knees etc. Our bodies thus become unbalanced.

See specialist first and ask for diagnosis. If physical therapy will help, then do religiously.

Walking is continuous activity we do daily. Doing it with pain for life is terrible.

no other advice than to see doctor.  you have a long time ahead, young lady.

I feel better after reading this 🙂 

I had the same problem knee pain on my right knee mainly waking up. It’s not that painful and I still jog every morning 30mins. It got better these few days though. It was painful for maybe 2-3 weeks.

first of all you need to be sure it was not the ligament that causes the pain, because ligaments injury also painful to stretch and bend.

If you confirm not ligaments and the pain is very bad in the morning or middle of the night, like going to kill you when straighten and bend the knee. Then you can start taking the glucosamine pills as suggested above, take for a month to see if there is any effect, dun take more than 6 months as I think there is some side effect. If you can find a glucosamine cream rub, it will ease the pain faster while taking the pills. I bought this from iHerb but no longer available there.

I have quite bad knee pain especially in cold weather mid or late 30? since taking the pills and applying the cream, I dun have those sharp pain for more than 15 yrs.
