Is there a cure for this knee pain?
Living with knee pain, is an experience every person with bad knees knows, and would not want to wish on another.
The constant nagging ache, that is there while standing at the sink to brush your teeth in the morning, and continues to be there during every other task that follows, as the day unfolds, that makes you want to stop and not carry on.
At the least, it can be troublesome and annoying and at the most it can keep you motionless, not allowing you to do the things you love, whether it be strolling down the sidewalk with the dog on the leash, or running in the park with your loving little grand children.
It reduces life to moving from one moment of taking the prescription pain killer to the moment when the next dose can be taken, hoping that the relief would be better this time around, but it never is.
You grit your teethe and contemplate taking the plunge and having the knee surgery every one talks about, but have the doubts, because you have no guarantee that it would work. Gosh! Is there a cure for this knee pain? Will there be a cure for this knee pain?
An honest answer to that question, NO!
I mean Yes, there is No miraculous overnight cure for knee pain, but there are a lot of things we can do to make life with knee pain worth living. If we cannot eliminate the knee pain, we can reduce it.
The magic word is REDUCE.
Succeed at reducing the pain a wee bit, and then succeed at reducing it a little bit more, and a little bit more, to a level where it is bearable and not even noticeable anymore, and you can start smiling again.
You may not be able to cure the knee pain but you can reduce it. All it takes is a little bit of effort doing the things that will work.
Knee pain is joint pain, so for starters let us look after the joint.
Glucosamine is a supplement that caters to joint health. Systemic enzymes are supplements that reduce the inflammation in the joints.
Let us forget about pain killers and start treating the rusty old knee joint with any of the supplements that use fatty acids that help repair torn, worn out and damaged cartilage.
Let us treat the knee with tried and tested joint health formulas.
There is bound to be a reduction in the pain once these joint health supplements start to take effect. Once the effects of these supplements can be felt then we move on to the next logical steps
It would be a lot easier now to do what you could not do before, and that would be the ability of using the knee a bit more freely. Once this happens, the end is in sight, as we move on to the next logical step.
Increase the range of activity of the knee, start exercising the knee slowly. Start with small walks, increasing the duration as the days move on.
You will soon realize that you are spending more time at the bathroom sink in the morning, because the pain has not vanished, but has reduced to just a dull throb.
We cannot stop now can we, we move on.
Depending on the severity of the knee pain or damage we can do the following while taking the supplements and treating the knee joint to the joint health formulas that we have discovered that work for us.
- Increase the range of motion of the knee gradually but continuously.
- Exercise the knee within acceptable limits.
- Try swimming if we can swim.
- Reduce body weight to acceptable levels, if overweight.
- Wear a knee brace or tightly wound bandage to support the knee.
- Spend enough time to relax and unwind – EVERYDAY.
- Rest your feet and your knees – Literally put your legs up – EVERYDAY.
