Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

HI my name is megan and I have been having a difficult time with my left knee cap for the past few months. Ever since I started working out more it seems to get worse and worse. it is hard to go upstairs with it, jump on it, or do squats. It makes a very distinct grinding feeling and noise each time I bend it.

Hi welcome to HCMm
I have gone thru your query regarding severe knee pain .

Dear Megan , I can understand your concern and would like to know ,your age and circumstances which have led to you to such sever agony

Most people experience knee pain at some point in their lives. Sports, exercise and other activities can cause muscle strains, tendinitis, and more serious injuries to ligaments and cartilage. For some, knee pain can be so severe that it limits daily activities. For others, mild knee pain may be a chronic hindrance to the active lifestyle they desire.
In either case, chances are that you’re dealing with a knee problem that shouldn’t be ignored.
Arthritis is a common cause of severe knee pain and disability .
Knee pain usually becomes worse as arthritis progresses. Common treatments include: weight loss, strengthening exercises, wrapping, and pain relievers .
What I earnestly feel is that somewhere your lifestyle and faulty intake of food ,leads to dwindled immune system is responsible for your sufferings .

I would like to suggest you to modify your life style and food habits . Include Eat a nutritionally balanced diet that contaiing all essential nutrients -- vitamins , minerals plenty of fruits , vegetables and whole grains high in fiber and drinking an adequate amount of fluids ,supplements full of antioxidants as Turmeric Powder a tea spoon ful with a cup of hot milk at bed time , Aloevera juice 35 ml , lemon juice with water and a pinch of salt and black pepper help .
Try not to move too quickly. Avoid jerks .
Do knee exercises to increase flexibility
Stay as active as possible. Exercise regularly as much as you are able.Stretching and flexibility exercises can help to relieve stiff muscles, improve flexibility, and make everyday tasks easier .
1. Sit on the chair , stretch your leg, knees should not bend , stay for 30 seconds , then relax . Repeat for 10 times . Many times a day .
2. Sit on the chair . raise your leg up , keep heel of your one foot on the brink of your seat ,near your thigh . Hold your foot with both hands and stretch your leg in front .Don't let your knee bend . Stay for 30 seconds . put your foot down and relax
Repeat this posture with each foot 5 times one by one .
This will help fill the gap of the knee joint, replace the grease diminished due to faulty practices .
Take Homeopathic Chamomilla 30 /once / 1/2 hour before bed time
Rhus Tox 30/ thrice a day /for 3 days .
It is advised to see your doctor for further guidance .
Hope this helps solves your query .Take care .All the best .Wish Get well soon .
Don't hesitate to come back in case of any further query .
