i injure my knee over a year ago. i did not have the chance to go the doctor because of not having insurance. A year has past and my knee injury has healed but not completely. It start to get painful when i ran less than an hour. my knee is really stiff after a few minutes of running but not painfully. With the Obama care in a few days and hopefully my knee will finally get to look at. I m just scared that it might have gotten worst. What can i do?
Hi.your knee pain could be due to less stability and strength in the muscles supporting your knee joint... I would suggest you to start a stability program and insist to properly DI good warm-up and warm down to avoid any future issues.stability program can include exercises like Bridging. Clamshell...single leg lift sideways...step-ups.squats...initially be started without weights and as you get comfortable increase load...clamshell exercise leg to be held in resisted position for at least 19 secs and repeated for 6 times each leg.all other exercises can be done for 15 reps.each...keep icing your knee. Frequently at least thrice in a Day. Prefer good training shoes. Hope this is helpful for you. Key idly revert in case you need any further clarification....
