7 Tips for Relieving Joint Pain
in the Knees
Joint pain in the knees, ankles, hips,
or shoulders can indicate arthritis,
damage to the cartilage that rests
between your bones, making it hard to
bend, twist, or kneel without suffering
from immense pain. To relieve joint pain,
it’s important to learn how to treat the
inflamed areas at home, while also
visiting your doctor to rule out serious
injuries that may require surgery.
What causes joint pain in the knees?
Often, arthritic joint pain occurs in the
knee when the soft cartilage of the knee
cap becomes weak and fragile. Pieces of
cartilage may become lodged into your
joint area, causing severe aches and dull
pain all around your knee area.
Joint pain in the knees can occur because
of a sports injury, poor posture, or
occupations that require standing or
sitting in one position for long hours.
Symptoms include a constant ache in the
front of the knees, limited movement and
buckling.
What are the best treatments for
joint pain?
First, see a doctor. You may need to take
some x-rays. If there is extensive
damage, then your doctor may suggest
surgery.
The most important treatments are the
ones that you can do at home to reduce
swelling, alleviate pain, prevent further
damage to the knee and begin the
healing process.
1) Apply ice.
The moment you notice the beginnings of
pain in your joints, sit down, put your feet
up, and put an ice pack on the inflamed
area. This will reduce swelling and cut
down on most of the pain.
2) Rub on pain relief cream.
Use a safe, gentle non-irritating pain
relief lotion that contains
natural ingredients that soothe the
muscles surrounding the joint and produce
a cooling effect.
3) Use over-the-counter
medications.
Pain relievers (such as acetaminophen)
and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(such as ibuprofen) can go a long way
towards relieving joint pain and swelling
in the knees.
4) Build up the muscle.
Visit a physical therapist to get a
schedule of muscle-strengthening
exercises that will help to speed up
recovery and prevent further knee
injuries.
5) Protect the swollen joints.
It may help to wear a brace or tight-
fitting sock around your kneecap to
sustain good alignment.
6) Take it easy.
If you’re used to exercising regularly,
then this is a good time to take a small
break. Until you’re feeling much better,
avoid bending down to pick something up
or sitting down on the floor.
7) Wear proper footwear.
Poor posture can cause joint pain in the
knees, even if you don’t realize it. Cheap
shoes that don’t cradle the foot properly
can cause body aches and pains in the
feet, legs, hips, and even the shoulders
and back. Many people don’t realize the
damage they’ve been doing to their spine
until they finally sample orthotic inserts
paired with good sturdy shoes that
provide ankle support. And then, comes
the relief…
