Does high heels causes knee pain?!


Question:

Does high heels causes knee pain?

I started wearing high heels almost a year ago and since then I feel like I started having knee pain. I wear heels everyday at work and I have alot of walking to do too. Can this cause it?


Answers:

yes...what happens when you wear high heels is that you tend to use your quad muscle (front of thigh) more and the rest of your muscles in your legs less. This in turn causes you to place increased amount of stress on the knee cap and the tissue surrounding the knee cap.
