Knee pain


After the Christmas and New Year festivities I am suffering for a knee pain for two days now. Is this a sign of old age now that I am 46 years old? Oh, I don't think so... hahaha!

Is this arthritis? No! Oh my god!
I just hope it’s just a simple sprain, the pain is just on my right knee, may be my right knee tissues were just stretched.

Searching online I am doing self-care technique to treat my knee pain such as:



Putting an ice pack to my  knee, and







Raising my leg on cushions.








Optimistically this pain in due course goes away.

  6. If it is caused by arthritis, cold compress is not adviseable because t will just helps in crystallization of uric acid making more pain. I would suggest to use hot compress instead.
    Mine too, my right knee starts to feel pain especially during cold weather. I am just 31. hehehe
    I also avoided seeded foods (fruits and veggies) because they have high uric acid content. We need to flush out those uric acid by drinking right amount of water.

  7. Maybe the uric acid already crystallize hence the pain. I hope the pain went away now. Like Daddy Allan said, avoid seeded vegetables. :)

  18. I've had knee pain after the holidays too! I felt it when I started jogging last week. Though its gone already after few consecutive days of jogging. I used to jog before the holidays too so it wasn't really because of lack of exercise. I hope this isn't some sort of arthritis yet...

  19. Do you remember doing something that possibly strained your knee? Have you checked for inflammation? If it persists, maybe you should consult a doctor.

    It could be from the cold, or the food you've been having for the past few weeks.

  20. It could be just because of the cold weather or from health reasons too. It would be only best for you to have it checked by the doctor.

  22. So many reasons for knee pain... did you have an injury? It is best to be checked! And if it really does not go away, you might need an MRI, too!

  23. Have you seen any doctor? It would be better to get an opinion for your safety. Take care.

  24. Naku! I had problems with my back after new year naman. A week of salonpas helped a lot. I told my husband to just ignore my smell for the mean time. LOL! I hope you'll feel better soon. Try putting on salonpas.

  27. This is one of the reasons people go to doctors since my husband is an orthopedic Surgeon... knee pain and back pain. In our MRI suite, this is also one of the other requests other than brain and spine... knee MRI!
