“Why Am I Having Knee Pain?”…
or
“Why Has It Not Gone Away Even Though It Has Already Been 3 Months (or Maybe Longer)”

Most people think that when they get Knee Pain, it’s “Normal” and if you just give it time, it will go away on it’s own. They feel they will just wake up one day and it will have vanished, as if they had never had it… But then 3 months later you’re still dealing with Knee pain – and it is likely worse than when it first began.

Does That Sound Like You?

Something else we often see in our Physical Therapy practice is when clients go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to “just rest” and gives them muscle relaxers or pain pills and “see what happens”.

But this advice is not usually the best and it is common for many of these people to still be in pain several weeks later. Many return to the Doctor who frequently ends up giving them another prescription for even stronger medication and instructed to rest LONGER. This isn’t right and explains why so many people are suffering with chronic knee pain.

Has This Happened To You?

It can be confusing because you’ve been told different things, by different people. You may think you have to rest because you’ve been told walking will only make it worse, or that you should be doing ‘this exercise’ or ‘that exercise’ to make it go away.

It can be very confusing learning exactly what to do – and that’s just to keep it from getting worse!

And because of this confusion – this often leads people to procrastinate and put off getting help to fix their Knee Pain. Even worse, many people just end up accepting it as “this is just the way life is” – as if it’s normal

Is That How You Feel?

If You’re Currently Suffering With Knee Pain, Here are Some More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than We Would Expect:

1. You keep thinking it will just go away on it’s own – but it hasn’t.
2. Your Doctor told you to rest and take pain medication – but they did nothing to help your knee, and once they wore off the Knee pain returned.
3. You were told that Knee pain is “Normal” as you get older, and you should just except it, because everyone gets it.
4. You tried another Physical Therapist or Health Practitioner, but nothing they did or recommended help.
5. You tried YouTube for exercises or taping to help your knee, but they didn’t do a thing or worse yet they increased your Knee pain.
6. You thought that using Kenisio tape or a knee brace would get rid of the pain, but it only felt good for a little while and didn’t fix the problem.
7. You took the advice that resting it was a good idea, but this only made you more stiff.

If any of these sound like what happened to you – we would love to help you out. I invite you to speak with one of our Knee pain specialized Physical Therapist at Focus Physical Therapy in Rancho Santa Margarita. Learn what can be done to help you. If you have tried some of these things and they didn’t work, it may not be a bad thing because by ruling out what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding out what will!

“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of MY Knee Pain, Fast”…

1. First off all, you need to decide about getting help. Many people put it off way too long, thinking it will just go away if I give it enough time. Months later they are still dealing with it, nothing’s changed or may have even gotten worse.
2. Do the RIGHT exercises – not all exercises are created equal. The best exercise for one cause of knee pain, is not always the best exercise for a different cause of it. Knowing what the right exercise for the cause of your knee pain is key. Proper exercises given to you be a Physical Therapist will decrease your pain, improve your mobility and ensure that your pain does not return anytime soon. Also, worth noting, they will not increase your pain like some other exercises can do.
3. Minimize sitting and avoid long periods of rest – sitting with your knees crossed or bent is not what our knees were designed to do. You know how you feel when you first get out of bed in the morning or after a long car ride – you have a hard time moving because you are so stiff and tight. Too much inactivity makes your knee stiff and tight. What would be really helpful is if you had the correct strengthening exercises for improved strength, balance, posture and flexibility, combined with hands-on treatment, to get you back to normal as quickly as possible.
4. Get real, “Hands-On” Physical Therapy – Physical Therapy is proven to help people with knee pain and the sooner one gets help the faster they get back to normal, doing the things that matter to them. At Focus Physical Therapy Knee Pain is one of the most common injuries we see. If your knee pain is affecting your life, your work, your family time – if it makes you feel less capable or confident – Physical Therapy can help you get back to living life your way, quickly.
