Knee Pain
|
|
Been suffering from knee pain on and off the last few years. Finally saw a doc and she advised it was 'wear and tear'.
Not repairable but can be made less painful with various treatments including physio which I'm being referred to.
Any of you found a solution that helps for this?

Squirt some voltarol cream on a neat skunk bowl and bong it.
Blow the smoke out on your knee.

Physio is your best bet, could be any number of causes
I had a bit of runners knee in the past, physio gave me strengthening exercises and showed me how to tape it properly and it soon cleared up.
Was a very well spent £40

Marijuana. Lots of it.
It's the only substance that's ever come close to me being able to 'forget' fucking my medial up in the mid '00's.

I hear toad poison is the new hip drug of choice……Not sure it’ll fix the knee but it gets you as high as a kite for a good few hours.
It’s a hallucinogenic drug so make sure you do it with friends….. Apparently it’s the bollox…
Especially if u venture out to the desert for the experience….

Both of mine have been kaput for over a year now with Ostroarthritis and walking without sticks has become almost impossible at times. Had two courses of Cortisone injections which haven't really helped.
Hope you find some relief AI it's no fun at all

Worth investigating.
As ever with private medicine, worth being slightly cautious with any advice given that involves spending money there.

My left knee used to give me stabbing pain (even when lying down) and would collapse sometimes when walking
I had a total knee replacement back in the spring and it's so much better although the healing has taken time with infection an ever present problem
It was put down to an arthritic knee with bone on bone contact causing the problem
It's the best thing I've done - no pain anymore

Not sure if this helps, but before I left Thailand to work in the middle east, one of my knees was giving me serious jip.
The local (effectively cottage) hospital had me on a regime of wrapping my knee in hot towels for 20 minutes, then 10 minutes of ultrasound. Every other day for about a fortnight.
It seemed to have worked as I've only ever felt since then the slightest of twinges - certainly not what a real man would call pain - since then.

Had similar for years. Came out of nowhere. Saw physios etc and had *some* relief but noticed it went away the more time I was in the gym and more active (walking everywhere etc). So I did more of what made it go away. Now its gone, completely.
I'm not a doctor, a physio, a PT etc so take this with a huge pinch of salt: a lot of joint pain seems to be caused by the muscles around it being weak. If you can strengthen yourself around the joint, the joint itself won't be under as much stress.
Without knowing how old you are or your activity level etc, this is just a shot in the dark, its helped me, hopefully helps you
Would go to a PT or physio to ask about ways to do the above, before jumping in though. Good luck

Difficult to say without knowing what the wear and tear is but my right knee is not great (the patella was't going where it should and was snagging my femur).
Exercises sorted curtesy of a physio to stregthen the muscles and put less on the knee joint itself. Was also told to do low impact work in the gym (swimming and crosstrainer) as the cartilage in the knee was also in bad shape and running was off the menu.
Hope it works for you.

Get good knee braces too - they help.

You’ve had some good tips here.
What is your weight and general fitness like? As I’ve got older I’ve definitely noticed the benefits of doing weights and losing a few pound in terms of my joints. For older men lifting weights is essential to strengthen joints and increase bone density. Would definitely see a good physio who is in shape himself (might as well have a beefcake giving you a rub down as well as not trusting a fatty to know what’s best).

For me, sitting at a desk sometimes leads to knee pain.
Playing football doesn't.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to convince anyone to pay me to play football...
