#QuestionTime How should I sleep if my knee hurts?

An easy fix for knee or hip pain while sleeping is to place a pillow between the knees and feet if you sleep on your side. This reduces internal rotation at both the hip and knee, which relieves stress to the tissues involved.

[TEAM-KP @ComplexKneePain]

#QuestionTime Is walking good for relieving knee pain?

Yes, provided you do not have a serious condition. It is true that regular exercise maintains and builds muscles, and weight-bearing exercise such as walking also helps maintain bone health.

#QuestionTime When should I see a doctor for knee pain?

Make an appointment with your doctor if your knee pain was caused by a particularly forceful impact or if it's accompanied by:
significant swelling, redness, tenderness and warmth around the joint, significant pain, fever.

#QuestionTime What is better for knee pain, heat or cold?

It depends! Heat can help relax muscles and lubricate joints. Cold can reduce inflammation, swelling, pain related arthritis and activity.

#QuestionTime Is it normal to have knee pain after running?

While it is common, it is not normal. Knee pain or discomfort associated with running can come from many culprits such as overactive muscles and poor posture.

#QuestionTime What helps knee pain at night?

Using a heating pad or an ice pack for 15-20 minutes before bed can ease pain before sleep. If arthritis pain keeps you awake, the timing of your medications may be to blame. Ask your doctor if you can adjust your dosing schedule.
