<s>[INST] I am getting lot of knee pain recently. I have started gymming since past 2 months. And I do cardio sprinting every alternate day. It hurts my knee when I try to sit down cross legged or even fold my legs. Should I stop sprinting or take some medicines for this. [/INST] Hello, I have studied your case. There is early osteoarthritis of your knee may be associated with osteoporosis. You need to take cartilage protecting medication like Chen Chat Doctor. If required MRI knee can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercisesMild deformity can not be corrected with just medication, but further progression of deformity can be corrected. Yes you can stop sprinting. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care. </s>
