Why do my knees hurt?

The last couple of times I've ran the inside of my knees hurt. Anyone know why?

5D, I'm no professional by any means so you might want to take my opinion very lightly. I was really into pilates before I got pregnant with my last baby and every time I would do one certain move I would get a shooting pain through my knee. My mom suggested taking extra calcium and a mineral/vitaming supplement for strengthening joints. (I can't remember right now what it is called. I want to call it a joint compound, but I think that has something to do with building a house not a body.) It took about 4 weeks, but I saw a real improvement. Even just a calcium supplement might help.

Cool Dia, thanks!

hmm, what kind of pain exactly is it?

Can you elaborate more?

**5ft Diva** · #5 02-21-2007, 10:54 AM

It's just a little sore, but it starts when I run.

hmmm could it just be that your knee's aren't used to running?

Is it sore or is it pain? Your body knows the difference.

I can't run outside for that reason but I love treadmills. Treadmills are designed to be easier on you joints while cement, dirt and other outdoor surfaces are very hard and unforgiving!!

So am I hearing that it's my joints that are sore then? I just need some joint vitamin/supplement stuff?

Well, I don't know for sure, but vitamins & minerals couldn't hurt!

Any recommendations for what I could take or should I just show up to GNC and ask the guy to point me in the right direction?

That's a great idea right there. They will / should know what to recommend.

Hey 5d,
I only saw this post today, but probably have several ideas for you. One, I have a book called 'Prescription for Nutrional Healing' (second edition). It is AWESOME in helping you find what is ailing you and giving you suggestions and things to take and things to do. There is a whole section on 'Sprains, Strains, and Other Injuries of the Muscles and Joints'. There are tons of ideas in there. Too many to list here, but if you come over you could look at it and borrow it, or I could make a copy of those pages for you. Also, you could come over and I could take a look at your knees for you, and see if I notice anything (for massage purposes of course). Anyway, if you want to, give me a call!

I meant "nutritional" if anyone was wondering!:a036

Thanks, when I get a minute I'll do that. Hubby told me just last night that I should take advantage of your services.

***Big_Sissy*** · #15 02-22-2007, 10:40 PM

Ha, we all should take advantage of them. A good massage is priceless.

teeny · #16 02-23-2007, 09:46 AM

Just give me a call! I promise you won't be dissapointed.

**5ft Diva** · #17 02-23-2007, 09:52 AM

Okay! Will do.
