|
Hello, I need some advice. Mom (57) is not a runner, but she is on her foot a lot and recently developed a problem in her left knee. Knee is swollen above cap and in the side (anterior). She feels pain, stiffness and some tightness when bending her knee. She is able to walk but feels pain when bending and stretching. The back of her knee does not hurt, but the front of the knee hurts and so does the anterior side (side facing the other leg). I posted here since I saw other posters with knee issues. Please advice if you have experience w/ these symptoms and can offer any advice on treatments. She is currently taking arnica montana (has no insurance), but w/ no improvement seen. THANKS

Your description of Mom's problem is mind numbingly boring. Are you sure it isn't a running injury?

Is your mom a runner? If she's a runner, thats one thing. Is it just pain in her knee from an accident or an injury? If it's not related to running, the best you can do is so ibuprofen and ice. If it's running related you can alter her technique in some ways to help alleviate the pain she gets. Hope she's alright. Severin

Of all the joints in the body, the knee is the one that takes the greatest beating. Eric R

No, she is not a runner and it's not injury either. She was on her foot a lot doing gardening, etc. Lately, the swelling has diminished and mostly she feels pain/stiffness when walking up and down the stairs.

Shouldn't the poster be getting advice from a gardening group then? It makes as much sense as asking joggers for opinions.
