OMG, I think you are experiencing what I experienced, but worse. My baby is now 8months. I started to have pain in both my knees when he as like 3 months. Going up and down the stairs, getting from the floor and sometimes just getting up from a sitting position in a chair was an agony. But once I'm up and about, I feel no pain.

So I finally decided to see my doctor. She did some manual testing, prescribe inflamatory med, blood test…nothing! So she referred to the PT. They did manual test, move this, move that, squeez this, squeeze with my knees and legs. Nothing, no pain. So they said to try to do some stretching at home. They gave me some stretching routine to do on my own and to go back and see them the next week. I ask if it looks like that I would be cured from this pain with this therapy. She said she's not sure because she doesn't know what's causing it. So, I thought, then what's the use? It's costing me alot of money each session to see them and they can't even tell if I'll get better. So, after I left the PT after my first session, I said forget it. I'm not going back and waste my money.

So, I decided to find some over the counter joint med on my own to take. My father who's 80 y/o been taking this med called "Move Free" and he said he has no joint pain. So, I decided to try it for myself. I have nothing to lose. I've been taking it for about a month now, and it truely does work for me. It feels so good to be able to get up from the floor and not have to grab on for help.

Try it for yourself. You can find this med at Costco. It cost about $24 for a hugh bottle.

Good luck and take care.

Lately I've been having knee and ankle pain. Is there any supplements I can take to prevent this? I already take multi-vitamins and I'm a pretty healthy/active person.

Any suggestions would help 'cause I'm not sure even where to start searching for info! ^-^

i heard fish oil is really good for joints…something about the omega fats that lubricate your joints and keeps them from hurting.

What causes Patellafemoral Syndrome? Is it dangerous? Can it cause permanent damage to the knee?

What treatment besides icing the knee should be used?

Is there a supplement I can help alleviate it?

Does body weight make a difference in this syndrome?

I was told that I have it because of having improper muscle balance in my legs. I was also told that the condition always existed in me by a military doctor. However, I never had any pain in my knee until one day when I was running in BCT, my foot came down wrong and pain shot through my leg. Since then I have had the pain in my knee when I run great distance.

I ran cross country before the military so I know that the distance I run now in the military is not the difference. I ran 5-10 miles every other day before the military. And now, I am running 5 miles almost every day.

Patellofemoral pain is a common knee problem. If you have this condition, you feel pain under and around your kneecap. The pain can get worse when you're active or when you sit for a long time. You can have the pain in only one knee, or you can have pain in both knees.The exact cause of patellofemoral pain isn't known. It probably has something to do with the way your kneecap (called the "patella") moves on the groove of your thigh bone (called the "femur").Take a break from physical activity that causes a lot of pounding on your legs, like running, volleyball, or basketball. If you want to keep exercising, try swimming or another low-impact activity. You may want to try working out on nonimpact elliptical trainers, which are popular at gyms. Because these machines support your body weight, they put less stress on your knees. As your knees feel better, you can slowly go back to your normal sports. But do this slowly, and increase the amount of time you do the sports activity by only about 20% a week. Do the exercises mentioned here each day, exercise should take only a few minutes. Doing them twice a day is a good start. Your doctor will tell you which exercises are best for you. The most important ones are usually the first two . These two exercises make your front thigh muscles (called "quads") stronger. This is important because your quad muscles control the movement of your kneecap. Talk to your doctor about footwear. It would help to bring your shoes in for the doctor to see. Proper walking or running shoes can help knee pain. Even a simple arch support insert from a shoe store can be helpful. This insert is much less expensive than a custom-made orthotic. Ice your knees for 10 to 20 minutes after activity. This can ease the pain and speed up healing. To keep your hands free, use an elastic wrap to hold the ice pack in place. A medicine like ibuprofen (brand names: Advil, Motrin and others) may also help, but talk to your doctor before you take this medicine.
Here are some exercises to help your knee pain. After you do all the exercises , reverse your position and do the exercises with your other leg, so both knees get the benefit of stretching. 1. Quadriceps strengthening: isometrics. Sit on floor, support yourself on your elbows. Hold your right leg straight for 10 to 20 seconds and then relax. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. 2. Quadriceps strengthening: straight leg lift. Raise your right leg several inches and hold it up for 5 to 10 seconds. Then lower your leg to the floor slowly over a few seconds. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. 3. Sit up, with righthand on the floor. Iliotibial band and buttock stretch. Twist your trunk to the right and use your left arm to "push" your right leg. You should feel the stretch in your right buttock and the outer part of your right thigh. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. 4. Stand with your ankles crossed. Iliotibial band stretch. Position yourself, with your right leg crossed in front of your left leg. Hold your hands together and move them toward the floor. You should feel a stretch in the outer part of your left thigh. Hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. 5. lay on floor, holding your thigh, Hamstring stretch. Bend your left knee. Grip your thigh with your hands to keep the thigh steady. Straighten your left leg in the air until you feel a stretch. Hold the stretch for 5 to 10 seconds. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. 6. sit on a bench or side of a bed. Hip adductor strengthening. While sitting, squeeze a rubber ball between your knees. Hold the squeeze for 5 to 10 seconds. Do the exercise 5 to 10 times. (If you don't have a ball, put your hands or fists between your knees and then squeeze.) 7. Hip abductor strengthening . standing on your left leg with the knee slightly bent. Slowly raise your right foot about 30 degrees, hold for a few seconds and then slowly lower the foot and straighten both legs. Do the exercise 10 times. Don't let your pelvis tilt (be crooked), and don't let your knees turn inward during bending. 8. sit on floor flatten leg on side and bend knee, bringing the foot near to the buttock, Hip and buttock stretch. Position yourself with your left leg over your right leg, and place your hands over your left knee. Pull the knee slightly toward you while sitting up very straight. Hold the position for 20 seconds and then rest for several seconds. Do the exercise 6 times. 9. Calf stretch. Position yourself against a wall. Keep your left heel on the ground to feel the back leg stretch. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds. Do the exercise 6 to 10 times.

My 3 years old girl has feet pain at night.she will cried out in pain thru'out some nights.i have read the previous about growing pain,but it was mention mainly on legs and knees.Anybody has the same experience as mine on her feet?Brought her to pead,suspect calcium or vit B12 deficiency,supplement given with not much improvement.Please advise a worry mother.

My son had that problem when he was around that age. The doc suspected an iron deficiency (anemia). He didn't do initial blood work, just instructed me to put 1-2 drops of liquid iron in his juice 2x a day. I guess it worked because a few weeks later everything was fine. He did say if things did not improve that they would do blood work because bone pain can be caused by many different things.

When he was having the pain, I gave him Tylenol/Advil combo, and wrapped his feet in a heating pad set on low. It helped both of us sleep at night.

I had cervical (disc replacement) surgery a couple years back and other skeletal and knee surgery pain, has anyone used anything that I can buy that works
I've been using chrondroitin, glucosamine MSM as a supplement
I've used Ibuprophen, Acetaminophen and the other common pain treatments

I have been dealing with pain for many years. I have fibromyalgia. I also had surgery for a herniated disc. Arthritis and Osteoarthritis and many more. I don't like to take pain pills so I have been leaning more toward herbal drugs. I have found that by taking malic acid and calcium/magnesium/zinc has helped alot. But one thing I will tell you, when you are in a flare there isn't much you can do( if you want to get hooked on pain pills, be my quest. The magnesium is for pain………Good Luck and Good Health

I'm 28, in good health, working out 3-4 times/week for usually 30 minutes. My knees are starting to hurt quite a bit - usually not during the workout but almost constantly after. Anything I should do to strengthen them, or should I be doing yoga or pilates or taking some kind of supplement?

You should stop doing the elliptical for now and do some other cardio that doesn't hurt your knees. If elliptical is the only thing that hurts your knees - don't do it, end of story. If your knees are having problems with other types of workout as well then you should see a physical therapist about it. Physical therapist will analyze the problem and tell you exactly the type of exercise that you need to be doing in order to strengthen your knees. Knee is the most complicated and injury-prone joint in your body, you really need to have the physical therapist look at it in order to tell you what exercise will help.
Advil or ice will relieve the pain. But if you're getting yourself in pain every time you do it it means you're doing some damage that's not good in the long run.

What can i do to make my bones stronger. Besides milk, any good supplements, also should i still skateboard everyday?

I have been skating for 2 years and the same thing happens to me after jumpin down like a 9 stair or somethin. Try mega teen vitamins, stretch for like 2 minutes and you will certainly feel the difference. The hip pain is from bruises when you land on your hip, you really wont feel the pain after you been skating for like a few years.

The American Medical ociations 159th President, Dr. John C. Nelson, MD, MPH, FACOG, FACPM, stated his enthusiastic personal and professional endorsement recently regarding Max Internationals breakthrough product MaxGXL.

In writing about MaxGXL, Dr. Nelson said, This product, in my opinion, represents the single most important breakthrough in health that we will witness in my lifetime, and this product will revolutionize, change, and transform the practice of medicine worldwide and make Dr. Robert Keller more famous than Jonas Salk who created the polio vaccine.

Dr. Nelson came to this conclusion through his positive experience after taking Kellers product, MaxGXL. He had visited with Max International Founder, Steven K. Scott and asked to sample the product. Scott was aware of Dr. Nelsons cartilage issue in and old knee problem and told Dr. Nelson that he should not expect MaxGXL to rebuild cartilage.

Dr. Nelson wished to try the product anyway. A day or so later, he talked with Scott and told him he was amazed. There was something that Dr. Nelson had not shared with Steve Scott in the first discussion about MaxGXL.

Apparently Dr. Nelson had a severely painful ailment that caused him to be repulsed by the sight of a bottle of water. He told Scott that the inflammation and pain had gone away in less than a day.

And that is the rest of the story.

Dr. Nelson saw the results of the product in a short time. Others report various changes in the improvement of their physical well being, an increased in energy that is sustained throughout the day and evening, better quality of sleep, improvements in joint and muscle discomfort, more clarity and focus in mental functioning, and more.

Athletes who have tried the product have reported peak or enhanced performance levels and a quicker recovery time after workouts or games. But is it safe and legal for athletes to use? Yes, according to tests by ConsumerLab.com … I will be doing a follow-up article with more details for those who are athletes and more physically active. - John Hutchinson, Jezam News

MaxGXL - Glutathione

The World’s Most Powerful Antioxident
is not in a berry or juice
It’s in YOUR Body

Glutathione is the most powerful & prevalent antioxidant in your body and by increasing your glutathione level you will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system.

Glutathione is considered a master antioxident and there are over 60,000 published papers on glutathione, yet you probably have never heard of it.
Or if you have, it is possibly due to having seen glutathione as an over the counter supplement.

However a supplement of glutathione will not give you the benefits of glutathione because your digestive system will break it down and it will not be absorbed by your body.

Together we are better and together we will rise!

I used to have a problem with my kneecaps dislocating when I was a freshmen in high school. They do not dislocate anymore, but now my knees hurt because of the little cartilage that I have for cushion. I don't want medication, but I heard somewhere that there is a supplement that people can take to build up cartilage in the knees. Does anyone know? Or something else that I can do right now besides surgery and medication?
I've heard about glucosemine, but I also heard that is raises your blood sugar. Diabedies runs in the family, so I have to maentain a healthy low sugar diet.

The big one you hear about is Glucosamine With MSM.

I had ACL reconstruction about a 9 months ago. They also had to take out about 45% of the cartilage. Iv been taking Glucosamine for the entire time now and really haven't seen any major improvement. But, I was told to keep taking it and over time their would be results.

Check out your local GNC or on-line store. Their are so many different types. They may be some special name brand, but they all do the same thing

So basically within the past couple weeks I have had major joint pain mostly starting in the back and has now come to the ankles, knees, hips especially and some shoulder pain. I have not gained a lot of weight, pretty positive I am not growing anymore, no known diseases and no eating disorders. I consume a ton of calcium but is arthritis possible? Please no suggestions of a chiropractor I went to one who adjusted me once and then wanted me on a "plan" for a year which cost $4,000 only adding to the suspicions of quackery. Supplement suggestions are encouraged and experience is welcomed as well. Should I see a doctor?

See a doctor!!!!!!!!
