Knee pain or hip pain after crouching or squatting is common in those with tight lower back, hip and knee muscles. Most of us who sit all day long have tight muscles in the lower back and lower limbs. So when we perform crouching or squatting movements whether done in a prolonged fashion or repetitively.
These days, knee pain has become a common complaint among many people. Every person suffers from knee pain sometime or the other. While it is easy to cure knee pain, you need to know the actual cause behind your knee pain before you go on to cure it. For example, knee pain can occur because of a variety of reasons.
Common Causes of Knee Pain:
· Ligament Injuries. Torn ligaments are caused by a hard stop or twist of the knee that typically occurs when participating in athletic activities.
· Dislocation of the Kneecap. This is another common injury that causes a lot of knee pain. If the kneecap (patella) moves out of place, a doctor may have to snap it back in place. Ouch!
· Tendon Ruptures. Certain tendons (quadriceps and patellar) can rupture partially or completely. Many joggers experience knee pain caused by tendon ruptures.
You should also consider alternative treatments as your knee pain therapy. In 1997, a National Institutes of Health consensus panel determined that acupuncture can actually help treat many types of knee pain, including the pain caused from knee osteoarthritis.
Sharp knee pain causes are often hard to pinpoint because of the inconsistency of the pain. It may come and go, or it may be present with some activities, but not others. Actually, this seeming inconsistency may hold the key to identifying the problem, so it is important to keep track of when you experience your pain issues, and what activities you were doing at the time.
Symptoms:
1.) Locking (where you cannot straighten or bend your knee) 2.) Popping or snapping sensation in the knee 3.) Giving way (feeling as if your knee is giving way when you walk) 4.) Inability to put weight on the knee
REMEDIES FOR KNEE INJURY
Any knee injury should not be ignored as else it might lead to knee surgery. So right from the onset opt for proper remedies to heal knee injury and prevent knee surgery.
Even if you do not have any knee injuries it is a good idea to give proper rest to your knee and avoid extreme activities that may initiate knee pain. Be cautious when working out as the wrong kind of work out or an excessive work out might lead to knee pain.
Consequently, conventional treatments used for traumatic pain (such as ice therapy and rest) may not give you chronic pain relief in the long run. They are useful but do not always "cut it". It is always wise to have your chronic knee pain evaluated by a physician to help determine the cause.
Other methods of treating knee pain include physiotherapy, bracing, use of medication (pain killers, corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid etc.) and surgery. These treatment methods should be implemented after consulting with a physician.
Meniscal injuries are also a form of knee pain. If the knee cap is rotated while bearing a lot of weight, the menisci can be damaged or injured. This usually happens in sports and can be the cause of considerable pain. A large tear in the mensci can leave it hanging on by a thread of cartilage.
