Your knees are important. They carry much of your weight and
are essential for staying upright and mobile. Protecting your knees can be the
difference between a healthy lifestyle and long-term hampered mobility.
Before any long term damage overtakes your knees, you should
pay close attention to them. Some people have the bad habit of just ignoring
any pain or strain in the legs. They want to “play through the pain”. They
accomplish nothing by ignoring the stress on their knees. This forced ignorance
can lead to severe damage and even complete immobility. The bottom-line: if you
feel any pain in the knees, it’s time to visit the doctor.
Over 15 million people worldwide suffer from some sort of knee ailment or the other. Your knees are essential in leading a normal life.
This means even minor damage to the knees can lead to serious problems. Life
can go downhill quickly if your knees are hurt.
Mistakes to avoid
1. Don’t ignore knee pain: although some people can block out
the worrying sensations, the cause of the problem remains active and
undiagnosed. If the pain prevents you from completing your daily work then it
is time to see a doctor without delay. The pain is a signal that your knees are
under too much stress. Remember: it is easier to repair minor damages, but if
you ignore them then they may lead to catastrophic injury.
2. Watch your weight carefully: every kilogram of body weight
produces five kilograms of force on the knees. So, if you are 10 kg overweight,
just imagine the amount of stress your knees have to deal with. Obesity
increases the risk of contracting osteoarthritis in the knee. Excess weight
worsens any existing form of arthritis. Pain and stiffness in the knee may
prevent you from exercising, which in turn makes it difficult to lose weight.
In the end, you will be trapped in a vicious cycle.
3. The period of rest
and rehabilitation after knee injury should not be ignored. The period of rest
may be just a week or a couple of months. It all depends on the type of
damage. Usually, young athletes are too eager to return to regular play without
paying attention to the period of rest. It is the responsibility of the doctors
and the trainers to prevent such irresponsible behaviour and encourage them to
take adequate rest.
4. Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is responsible
for more than 150,000 hospitalisations every year. This type of injury requires
a substantial period of recovery.
5. While you should certainly workout regularly, you must also
give the body adequate time to recover. Trying to push your body to its limits
every single day is a recipe for disaster and injury. If you place too much
stress on the joints without allowing them to recover, then the risk of serious injury increases.
6. Weak muscles around the knees place stress on the joint. The
muscles should be strong enough to bear some of the body weight, which in turn
takes some of the workload off from your knees. So you should devote time to
build these muscles.
