Causes and Treatment
from knee pain
How to deal with chronic, daily, annoying knee problems WITHOUT injections,
WITHOUT painkillers and WITHOUT wearing a brace or splint stops...
If you live with bad knees and they ache or ache — it's very easy to think that it's “just something that comes with age,” it's a bit of “wear and tear,” or that it's nothing and goes away on its own.
You can't say exactly why you're feeling pain in your knees — but it doesn't seem to be getting any better!
You can't say exactly why you're feeling pain in your knees — but it doesn't seem to be getting any better! If that's the case with you, you're not alone — we hear it all the time. In fact, knee problems are one of the most common problems we see in our Good Joint Physiotherapy Practice. And when it comes to living with knee problems, everyone who comes to us wants to know the answers to these questions:
“Why is this happening to me?”... or “Why am I still suffering from knee problems that are getting worse after 6 months — sometimes even longer?”...
Most people think that if they have knee problems, it will eventually “calm down” and go away on its own. That they wake up one morning and how “magically” the knee pain will be a thing of the past... But then, 6 months later, you're still living with the symptoms of knee problems — often even worse than when you started out.
Do you know that too?
Another scenario we see time and time again in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to their doctor and the well-intentioned doctor tells them to “rest,” “try out these pain relievers,” and “come back in 6 weeks if it's not better.”
But then, 6 weeks later, they go back to the same doctor because it hasn't gotten any better just to get another prescription for even stronger pills and maybe a knee brace.
Maybe you're confused because you've been told different things by different people. Maybe you think you need to rest because you've been told that walking makes knee pain worse, or you should do “this exercise” and “that exercise” to make it better. It's very confusing to know exactly what to do — and that's just to avoid making knee pain worse!
Because of this confusion, people often tend to procrastinate and put off deciding what to do to alleviate their knee problems. Even worse, many people simply accept it as a “part of life” — as if it were normal, as if it had to be that way.
Do you feel the same way?
If you are currently suffering from knee pain, there are another 7 reasons Why they could last longer than they should:
1. They thought it would go away by itself, but that wasn't the case.
2. You went to the doctor who advised you to rest and take pain relievers - but the pills didn't help, they just “masked” the pain - and as soon as the effect wore off, the knee pain stopped you again.
3. A family member or friend told you that everyone in old age has knee pain, so you just accepted it.
4. They've already sought help from other health professionals or a physical therapist, but nothing they've said or done seemed to help.
5. They tried using knee braces but they didn't relieve the pain.
6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you had severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still annoys you on a daily basis.
7. They tried a few exercises from “Youtube” but they caused pain and did not relieve the pain.

The right exercises given to you by a physical therapist will help reduce pain and allow you to move freely again — and ensure that problems don't return anytime soon.
3rd Avoid it in awkward positions to sit — the truth is that we're not meant to sit. When you sit and bend your knees, you put your knees in uncomfortable, unnatural positions — for the knees, they're not meant to be in such positions for too long.
