Can someone give me advice on the knee pain I am experiencing?!


Question: Can someone give me advice on the knee pain I am experiencing.?
Three days ago I worked in my Grandfathers yard picking up sticks after the hurricane. We worked about 4 hours and I felt fine. Then when I went home to relax my knee started to hurt. When I woke up the next morning the pain was really bad and it hasn't gotten any better since. I am 21, practice yoga almost everyday, and have never had any problems like this before. Does anyone know what could have caused it, or anything I can do to get the pain to stop.? I dont really want to take any medications and I dont have insurance right now, so I cant afford the doctor visit. Please help.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Sounds like you've over used the muscles and they are telling You that they need rest. I recommend you take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved epsom salts as this helps remove lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over use. After the bath massage an analgesic cream into the area. Try Advil liquid capsules three times daily to help with the pain. You should feel better after about three days. Health Question & Answer

SOunds like you over did it a bit. Try taking some advil/tylenol for the pain. Soak in a hot bath or use a heating pad to reduce the pain your experiencing. Hopefully in a few days you'll be good as new! In the event that your not, than you may have to bite the bullet and seek help of a health care professional. GOod luck and feel better!Health Question & Answer

You could have strained it or a ligament. If so take it easy for a few days and it should get better. Ibuprofen or Alleve work great and they might help. Taking meds for pain won't hurt you and you'll feel better. Health Question & Answer
