Suggest Remedy For Persistent Knee Pain
Question: yes. I never had knee problems whatsoever. I'm a painter who has been on his knees as well over the course of my career of 37 years. Recently my knees feel achey like they have a headache. Not sharp pains but just headachey, under the knee cap. I was running/walking before but since moving have only walked about 1/4 mile 3 days a week . I do however walk quite a bit at work. Combined I'd say around 2-3 miles a day. Should I excercise more. To coincide with this I, with age, am definitely more sketchy with in equal libreum and balance. I think I can reverse this trend by engaging/ taking on a regular excercise program. One that stresses agility quick movement drills or attending aroebic classes, yoga classes, weight training for strength as well as running. I eat pretty normal but could probably do a better job. Suggestions???I am HIV positive since 2005 , am undetectable, T- cell around 400 but as high as 700 but my percentage remains good at 45 or higher I think as it was told to me. I do the doc every 3 months.
Brief Answer:
May be beginning arthrosis, to be diagnosed with x ray. Exercise advisable
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
with the history you are describing a beginning arthrosis may be the cause for your knee pains. This may have something to do with your job history. Before therapy, a proper diagnose should be found with x ray and potentially mri. If arthrosis is proven, certain exercises are good, such as swimming or biking, walking who strengthen the joint muscles. This will not make arthrosis heal but will stabilize the joint, reduce pain and may slower the process of it getting worse. Jogging, aerobic with any jumping, fast movements or any sports with quick turns should be avoided.
Best regards
