Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Lower Back And Knee
Yes! I played football from age 8 until the end of highschool. I am now almost 27. I never had a major injury but over the years my knees, lower back, and even ankles have progressively hurt worse and worse, especially my knees and back. I do landscaping work so it s always hard on my body. I take Advil Ibuprofen and Aleve but it doesn t work. Honestly the only times I have had the pain go away is taking painkillers? What is your suggestion?

Hi,
The history sounds more towards having the muscle weakness of the back. You need to do regular exercise for your core to stabilize the spine. Also doing swimming on weekly once should provide some more additional overall stability of spine.
For knee you need to focus more on stability exercises. I will recommend to use the balance board for various benefits to the knee joints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
