Knee pain for a few days? Bursitis, Arthritis?
I've had knee hurting for the last few days, tried ibuprofen and ice, but it's still there. The weather has just allowed me to begin walking outdoors again, and I really need to walk! The pounds started coming correct back on as soon as the weather got cold and rainy and I couldn't walk. This morning I had to chop my walk short. Walking in the early mornings is the only way I receive regular exercise. The Wii Fit is good, but it's in the same room and the computer and that's too tempting!
The hurting feels like it's correct between the kneecap and the bone that connects on the inside. I have an idea it may be bursitis, but I'm not certain. My grandmother had serious arthritis, and my mother has it some, and I kind of expect that I will too, at some point. I'm 48, so it may be coming sooner than I want! Can you distinguish between bursitis and arthritis by the way it feels? Or do you know what else this might be? I hope it's nothing that would involve a muscle relaxant, because the only muscles they relax are my eyelids, and they give me nightmares!
I'd feel kind of foolish going to the doctor, because I was just there the other day for something else. I have a toddler to keep up with, and my house is a catastrophe! Staying off it will be difficult, and I'm not sure whether I should try or not, whether it would help. I need my body to cooperate! I also have chorus competition coming up, and I really need to wear heels for a few hours that day! How long should I let this go before I have to see the physician? Any other advice?
Thanks!
I don't think I tore anything. Surely I would have noticed at the time! I have realized that it's on both sides of the kneecap, between the kneecap and the leg bones.
I didn't read anything that would indicate that you should have tore your knee up. That makes me feel that it is the kneecap for your leg that is giving you the problems you have. The tendons like to shorten up when they have some trauma shut by. This can be as little as a knock on the knee, falling on it or something else it didn't like. When that happens the tendon shortens up pulling the kneecap up on and into the knee. That makes it hard to bend the knee as well as painful. The only way of getting rid of the pain is to get the tendon released and here's how to do that:
Kneecaps: Do while sitting on a chair with no front cross braces. While sitting have your leg resting in a stretched mode. Place both your thumbs, side by side, approximately 2 inches backside the kneecap and press down into your leg and then redirect the pressure a little towards the kneecap. After 30 seconds, slowly slide your foot back and under your chair as far as it will go, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. The key is keeping a good amount of pressure on the leg the whole time or this won't take. Whether that should happen to you give it one more try.

sounds like you ahve torn the catilidge under your knee cap....that incircles it......it common...
what does take any pain absent is tylenol for athritis......it leaves in about 20 min.....give or take
this is something that costs about 5,000 to repair and whether your body is prone to this...it may happen to the other knee.....so best to just keep your wieght down and when you do walk use a cain to naked some weight........when it flares up in that awful burn it causes...take a tylenol athritis.....the others dont do a spit of good......
dont spend your money on the docs...they will just tell you what i told you and take your money.....only surgery will help what you have and if you dont have the money.....well its going to be with you for the rest of your life.......many of us have it....and we live ok.....just get some tylenol arthritis...and probably need only one tab...if it doesnt appear to be enough, take 2.....it will last for approximately 6 hours.....baby your knee......and try to keep the hurting absent....but still receive walking....just stop when it hurts
