Hello there Chizz, it's nice to see you here. I'd tried that situation before and what I did I just keep on walking and running a little bit and then I used some pain reliever. Try using them out.

I think you should try a pain reliever cream to recover your knee pain.

Hi there,

You may want to include some ankle exercises into your routine, just like feet eversion and inversion. It improves the mobility of your ankle, which is possible related to your knee pain. Also, it's great to give a nice stretch to your hip flexors and to your buttocks.
I also suffered from mild knee pain and discomfort. I realized that I needed to let go certain tensions in my leg instead of strengthening around the knee.

Hi Chizz,

I know I have a really bad right knee from pulling my ACL years ago and it still acts up. For the most part, swimming is a really good exercise that is low impact to strengthen the knees, as well as leg presses. And for anything that is high impact, it might be good to wear a sports knee brace to keep your knee firm and giving it extra stability and support. And if you are really worried, you can always follow the workout with a low dose pain killer to prevent pain and inflamation. Hope this helps!

Is it pain in the inside of the leg by the knee or the outside? I suffered for years and I got some relief from strengthening the vastus medialis, which is the muscle just above the knee on the inside of the leg. That helped take the pressure off the knee when the muscle could do its job a little better. i just found the cruel irony was the more i tried to strengthen it , the more likely I was to worsen the knee.

To my delight and astonishment after years of cat and mouse with the problem-solution I found the most unlikely cure. The pain has not returned even if I hammer it.

A two week juice fast. I could not even stretch of my quads without the pressure being to much in the knee, yet know it is fine.

2 weeks giving my body a rest from cooked foods and blasting it with nutrient rich organic fruit and veg nuked the pain entirely. Give it a shot you will be glad you did.

Plus rebounding, mini trampoline. Low impact. Scientifically butt kicking exercise.

Best of luck Chizz

Hi try this exercise`s this will defiantly useful to you for you knee plain
Chair knee extension: Sitting in a chair, rest your foot on another chair so the knee is slightly raised. Gently push the raised knee toward the floor using only leg muscles. Hold for 5 - 10 seconds and release. Repeat 5 times on each leg.
Heel slide knee extension: Lie on your back, with left knee bent and left foot flat on floor. Slowly slide the left heel away from your body so both legs are parallel. Hold for 5-10 seconds, return to starting position. Repeat 5 times on each leg.
Knee flexion: Sitting in a chair, loop a long towel under your foot (resting on the floor). Gently pull on the towel with both hands to bend the knee, raising your foot 4 - 5 inches off the floor. Hold for 5 - 10 seconds, then release. Repeat 5 times on each leg.
Hamstring stretch: Standing, put one foot in front of you, toes up. With hands on the small of your back (or one hand holding a chair for balance), bend the opposite knee and hip (not your lower back), until you feel the hamstrings stretch. The upper body comes forward at the hip. Hold for 5 -10 seconds, then release. Repeat 5 times on each leg.
