Hello everyone.
The past months, the pain on my left knee is quite bothersome. I cannot sit on the floor, I cannot sit with my left knee filded under me which I usually does before. I know for a fact that it may be because of having gained more weight hence the inactivity.
3 weeks ago when we have a mini unplanned family outing wherein I had to climb three flights of stairs several times because the location of our apartment is at the third floor. Followed by walking everyday because I have to be with my son to and from school.
I say the pain in my knee is gone. Though there are times when I cab feel something in my knee. The usual pain is gone and I am happy.

Me, I would always feel a pain in my knees, whenever I climb the stairs to the second floor where our office is, in my high heels.
Now, I can't feel it anymore. Thanks to MX3, which I am now taking for more than a month. EVen what you mentioned sitting, I can feel so much pain when I stand up from those positions. Now, no more.

Regular exercise is good for the knees. Stick to it. Your knee pain will go away.

I think it just needs more movement to relieve pain. But am glad all is fine.

Folding that knee under you may have stretched the ligaments. Walking and the stair climbing activities helps strengthen the muscles and also forces the cushioning fluid into the knee to feel better. Keep it up.

I did not take any medications for this. I just had more activity. I go up and down the stairs in our reunion, the first time the pain is there and since I did that several times in a day, I notice the next day the pain is gone and then now I am walking everyday

@rakski it comes and goes at unexpected moments. i can't tell if it's the bone/joint or ligament or muscle

do you eat much of the legumes? i believe these foods can cause arthritis.

Calcium is for the brittleness of bones. I think it has something to do with gaining weight and inactivity. I used to be more active when I was younger and thinner. lol Probably if I will not do something about it now, it will lead to osteoarthritis or arthritis and I do not like that.

I wouldn't be surprise specially if climbing is mostly good for the young. I think i would have had fear of heights and uric acid coming back all over again.

Glad that it is better now, knee pain can really slow you down. A common knee problem is a torn meniscus that can be determined by an x-ray.

I'm glad the pain is gone. My knees sometimes start to give me trouble if I climb a lot of stairs.
