Squats knee pain: Pain from squats. Rule out arthritic changes of knees, form, and the relationship of the knee/hip/ankle. Consider temporarily stopping activities that are causing you discomfort.

knee pain?

Accepted Answer

Different exercise: Sorry about your pain.  Most important is to maintain form; correct body axis so as not to strain accessory muscles.  May want to put a band around both knees to keep them positioned during exercise and while seated; don't splay your legs.  Also place a ball or towel under the knee on a bed and push down with the knee; then use the ball/towel as a fulcrum and raise the foot.  If needed use weights

Question 9

chronic knee pain. job requires sitting for long durations. doing daily jog. pain relieves while body is warmed upmild squats relieves pain for a day.

Accepted Answer

Keep up the good work!: You seem to have answered your own question. Chronic knee pain made worse with sitting is often mild to moderate arthritis. Sitting is really hard on arthritic knees because it causes pressure in one spot on the damaged cartilage. Changing the position of your knees can help. Can you adjust your workstation to stand? Exercising is how cartilage "Breaths". Keep up the good work!

Question 10

i am experiencing knee pain when i try to seat on the floor. pain is a light burning sensation. i squat heavy once in a week.kindly suggest the soltn?

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: Knee pain can be from several sources. In someone doing heavy squats, conditions like patellar or quadriceps tendonitis is common. This would show up as front of the knee pain. If your pain is on the side of the knee and associated with locking or catching, might be a meniscal tear. Recommend evaluation by ortho surgeon if symptoms persist
