“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” — T. Roosevelt
Bad knees can be extremely painful, and it's easy to think they're just a part of aging. That isn't necessarily the case. Although wear and tear can contribute, there are often other underlying causes — so it's important to rule out anything serious.
You may not be able to pinpoint the source of your knee pain, but it's probably only going to get worse if you don't do something about it.
You're not alone if this is happening to you — we hear it all the time. Knee discomfort is one of the most prevalent issues we see, and everyone who comes in wants answers to the same questions.
“Why Is This Happening To Me? Why Am I Still Suffering With Knee Pain That Gets Worse After Putting Up With It For 6 Months — Frequently More?”
Many people believe that if they simply wait, their knee pain will lessen and eventually go away. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. In fact, six months later you may find yourself in more discomfort than when your journey with knee pain started.
Does That Sound Like You?
A common occurrence in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to see their doctor. The well-meaning doctor tells them to “rest,” “try these painkillers” and “come back in 6 weeks — if it does not improve I'll give you ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills, and maybe a knee support.” But then 6 weeks later, they usually end up going back anyway because the recommended solutions did not work.
Has That Ever Happened To You?
If you're confused, it might be because you've received conflicting information from different people. You might believe resting is the best solution because you were told walking would worsen knee pain. Or maybe you think certain exercises will help improve the condition when they won't actually make a difference.
It's tough to make a decision on what to do when you're knee deep in pain and aren't sure which course of action will help. And because it's such a confusing situation, people often avoid making any decision at all about their knee pain. It gets worse — many folks just end up assuming that their chronic pain is natural or normal.
If You're Currently Living With Knee Pain, Here's 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t
You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers – but the pills did nothing to help, all they did was ‘mask’ the pain, and as soon as they wore off knee pain stopped you in your tracks again
A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets knee pain as they get older, so you just accepted it
You sought help from other Healthcare Professionals or a Physio in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help
You’ve tried using things like knee supports but they’ve done nothing to help make the pain any better
You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you experienced severe pain and swelling in your knees, but it still irritates you daily
You tried a few exercises from ‘YouTube’ – but they felt painful when you did them, and did nothing to ease the pain
If any of these have happened to you, we'd love to help. The fact that you've tried these things means we know what doesn't work — which means we're closer to finding what DOES.
“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Knee Pain Quickly?”
Well, here's 4 things you can do:
Make a decision about getting help
Many individuals rest for weeks, believing that the suffering will “just fade away with time,” only to find out six months later that nothing has improved.
Do the RIGHT exercises
To help reduce your knee pain and allow for free movement, do a series of progressed exercises given to you by a physical therapist. These exercises will also prevent the problem from returning in the future.
Avoid sitting in awkward positions
You and I were not meant to sit for hours on end. When you do, it puts your knees in an unfavorable position they can’t sustain for long. The right exercises to strengthen your posture, alongside hands-on treatment, get you back to being active much quicker.
Get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is known to aid individuals with knee discomfort. It can help you get back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible – especially when knee pain affects your job, keeps you from being active, or gets in the way of quality time with family and friends.
A quick note: Our free Total Body Diagnostic session is something we offer to people who are nervous or skeptical about physical therapy — unsure of its benefits or if it's right for them. We'll work with you to find out what's wrong and what can be done, without any financial risk on your part.
