My knees are sore. Help me please?!
Question: My knees are sore!. Help me please!?
I've been doing cross country running since the school year started!. We practice everyday and we run 4 miles minimum, everyday!. My knees hurt, especially when I walk down stairs!. I have a meet tomorrow, so I don't have time to go out and buy some kind of medicine or whatever!. I put ice on my legs a few weeks ago when they hurt, but it didn't work that great!. What can I do to feel better!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I just had surgery because of a compound tibia/fibula fracture!. They had to put a titanium rod in my leg (which involved cutting open my knee so they could insert the rod into my tibia!.) That and physical therapy has made it so that my knee is sore!. What the nurse told me to do was to alternately put ice on my leg and then a heating pad on it, but to give my knee a break between because the going back and forth directly can be bad for your knee, so
1) ice pack - 20min
2) nothing - 20 min
3) heating pad or heat - 20 min
4) nothing - 20 min
5) repeat steps 1-4 a couple times
hope that helps, feel better! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
