What Are The Treatments For Stiffness And Pain In Knee?

i injure my knee over a year ago. i did not have the chance to go the doctor because of not having insurance. A year has past and my knee injury has healed but not completely. It start to get painful when i ran less than an hour. my knee is really stiff after a few minutes of running but not painfully. With the Obama care in a few days and hopefully my knee will finally get to look at. I m just scared that it might have gotten worst. What can i do?

Hi..

your knee pain could be due to less stability and strength in the muscles supporting your knee joint...
I would suggest you to start a stability program and insist to properly di good warm-up and warm down to avoid any future issues..
stability program can include exercises like Bridging..Clamshell...single leg lift sideways...step ups..squats...initially be started without weights and as you get comfortable increase load...clamshell exercise leg to be held in resisted position for atleast 19 secs and repeated for 6 times each leg..all other exercises can be done for 15 reps..each...
keep icing your knee.. frequently atleast thrice in a Day..

Prefer good training shoes..

Hope this is helpful for you..
Key ndly revert back in case you need any further clarification....
