Manage Knee Pain With These 8 Simple Tips

Knee pain can be caused by a sudden injury, overuse of the knee joint or from age-related causes like arthritis. Knee pain can be local (affecting one part of the knee) or it can be diffuse. People with knee pain are reluctant to use the affected knee.  

If knee pain is from age-related depletion of the cartilage, then it becomes difficult to eradicate it completely. You will be experiencing some degree of pain whenever you move the affected knee. Nonetheless, it is possible to learn how to live with the pain and the stiffness. The following tips will help your knees feel better.

1. Too much rest weakens the muscles around the knee. Such weakened muscles will not be able to bear the body weight or the stress of motion. Thus, your knees will be under greater pressure, which will mean more pain. To avoid this scenario, remember to exercise regularly. Talk to your doctor or a physical trainer about the most appropriate exercise routine.

2. Cardio exercise strengthens the muscles which support the knee. This increases joint flexibility. Simple cardio exercises include walking, swimming, stationary cycling and so on.

3. A painful knee is more likely to be unstable. The risk of falling down will increase. Make sure your home is well-lit, remember to use the handrails while climbing the stairs and use a foot stool if you want to reach something high.

4.  A sudden arthritis inflammation can be treated with the RICE procedure. It stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. If your knee is painful, give it plenty of rest, apply ice to reduce the swelling, wear compression bands and keep the affected knee elevated.

5. If you are overweight, then losing weight decreases the stress on your joints. Even a small improvement can have a positive impact on your knees.

6. A crutch or a cane can take some of the pressure off from the joints. They can also help you stay stable.

7. Wear cushioned soles in your shoes because they reduce the stress on your knees.

8. Avoid high impact exercises like running or jumping. These exercises can further deplete the cartilage in your knees, leading to even greater pain.
