my knees are driving me mad

Is it like joint pain. I was having a problem about a year ago and nothing I tried help so sometimes when was standing, and or sitting the minute I would move it hurt so bad. I took something over the counter called Trigosaminine. It lubricated, relieves and builds the joints. It is quite pricey but can I tell you after a year in agony and having taken it for a week was well worth it. I have plenty left and treasure them like gold as absolutely nothing I did prior to this helped a bit.

Quite alright. Sometimes when I've been surfing long the bones in my legs start hurting. Reason for that is because the most comfortable position I have while at PC is me sitting in a high-backed chair with my legs drawn up. While it isn't painful, my leg bones are under stress and that causes pain later. And then I can't sleep because of that pain. I use horse whatsit on my knees, that helps.

I will tell you that you just try Yoga for some days ...these are breathing exercises, originally from India...you can find the ways to do it online ....if you search for them you will get the process of doing it...try doing them for half am hour everyday and you will see the magic happening and then you will surely not rant...and you will write only discussions filled with happiness....i have experienced it myself...i had pain in my knees and it worsened when i slept under fan or AC...and after i started doing Yoga...it all vanished and i never have the problem again...

I'm so sorry for you! I can only imagine what that must feel like, although I do have something similar that happens to me. Something apparently happened while I was having my hysterectomy, something on the operating table. Since that surgery, I've had absolutely no feeling from just below my belly button on down to, well, you know. Apparently, one or several nerves to this area were severed during that surgery. I USED to have feeling there but not since this surgery. Now, I occasionally have an itch in that area. I try to scratch it, as we all do, but, since I can't feel anything, I can't get rid of the itch. It's even weirder since I can't understand why I get an itch there in the first place. The itch feels like it's under the skin but, since the skin is totally without feeling, I can't get rid of the itch by scratching it. So, I kinda know how you feel since an itch that won't go away can be as maddening as a pain that won't go away but I'd still rather have my problem than yours. Itching is maddening but doesn't hurt while your problem is a pain that can't get relief. So, I do feel so bad for you! I had a friend who was paralyzed from the neck down and he had nerve pain in his legs even though he couldn't feel anything touching him. Hopefully, medical science will someday come up with a solution to this awful nerve pain.

Check the height of the chair or bench you are using in work. I too had a similar knee pain 20 years back. I couldn't find the reason why suddenly I developed such a pain. Finally, I myself found that the chair I was using was little extra high, so my feet were not touching the ground. (just by millimeters, not even centimeters) What I did was to put a pad under my feet. From the day I put the pad, the pain was gone. If it is due to cartilage problems, you can use glucosamine products. The glucosamine helps repair the cartilage damages and to some extent regenerates the cartilage. (If you are allergic to shellfish, you should test the glucosamine first.)

Sometime i also experience pain in my knees and i usually massage them with liniment. According to the doctor it is rheumatoid arthritis and to avoid it from becoming worse, we should drink plenty of water and still continue moving it. If we don't move our knees it will be more painful the moment we move them.

I am sorry that your knees give you so much trouble. How about using either ice or a hot pack or alternating them. I find that my knees feel better when I take enough vitamins and minerals and walk, but I do not have any specific disorder or disease, other than a little bit of arthritis but only in one of my knees.

I hear ya, I have fibromyalgia, and I hurt a lot, sometimes worse than others, and there does seem to be times when I want to drive a pick in the pain just to give it an excuse to hurt!

i think you should at first find the reason of your pain, or else you can never handle it. there are many reasons of pain, you can not release they just by taking painkiller. so. to consult to your doctor, let him help you out of your madness. another advice is to think or do other things to shift your attention away from the pain, but it is much harder. i have seen many patients with pain, so ,trust me, it is not too hard to lessen it.

Can you relax for a while and get a hot water bottle for each knee (not very heavy? You can watch TV or read meanwhile. Have you tried glucosamine with condroitin? It doesn´t help me much but I have heard it helps some people. I just read a mail from a friend about magnesium chloride. Check it. Luck!

I am sorry to hear that .Pain may be the last thing people want to experience in the world ,let alone pain on knees .I bet that you have had seen your doctor .Unfortunately ,he or she couldn't help you out with your pain .Have you tried to see other doctors or receive treatment in other hospitals ?

try aleve...lol rant all you want, hope the get better soon

Hey,sorry to hear that.If you tried massage?It will separate the tangled muscle .Wish the pain will reduce sooner. One year in the child,i get the pain from the teeth,then my face swelled so high as a egg in my mouth,even i couldn't eat Tofu.So terrible experience ended by unpluging the tooth.
