Take care of your Knee's

After all those years thinking you were superman, jumping off ever thing that did not have enough steps or what you should have climbed down, now your knees are starting to talk to you. Usually the culprit is osteoarthritis or injuries such as torn ligaments or tendinitis.

Don't you remember your mom and dad telling you about these things when you were young and you just rolled your eyes saying no not me? Well now that every time you get up you look like grandpa Jones, there are some things you can do to alleviate the situation.

Body weight, for every pound of body weight you lose takes four pounds of pressure off your knees.

Feet. if you are wearing the wrong footwear or you are walking wrong you can develop knee pain. have your gait checked will help also.

Exercise, muscles that are conditioned absorb more pressure than not.

And if all fails try ice or heat to help sooth the pain but leave the medication for last.
