How to prevent knee pain in kids and youth? - Dr. Shweta Arora

"Now a days we see kids with lot of weakness in the hip muscles which is giving lot of pressure at the knee joints because the supporting muscles, hip knee, ankle can’t bear the weight.nSo the key to reduce knee pain in the young age is to strengthen the muscle and coming to weight part if you gain 1 kg of weight three times pressure on the knee increases. So if the kid is just sitting and gaining his weight then it is also an important factor of knee pain.nSecondly there are two types of knee problems people are facing. One is called as chondromalacia patella it is mainly happen on young age and the cartilage between patella and femur, when it is gets degenerated then the people get knee pain. The very best way to manage this knee pain is strengthening the muscle. Having supplements at such a young age are not advice able but calcium and vitamins are helpful to strength muscle and bones.nSecond thing the people are suffering is arthritis problem. When the joint space between femur and tibia reduces. To manage that you can have the supplements to build up the cartilage.nIf it is in early stage you can start strengthening the muscle and do some exercises regularly. Second thing which will help you to reduce over knee problems is you should modify your life style like if you have a habit of standing long in the kitchen you should modify it which means you may do so many works sitting position only. If it is old age arthritis knee means then you should not bend your knee more and avoid sitting like cross position because the compression forces are become perpendicular. nTypically, pain, aching, stiffness and swelling in and around one or more joints characterize rheumatic conditions. The symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Certain rheumatic conditions can also involve the immune system and various internal organs of the body. Arthritis is more common among adults aged 65 years or older, but people of all ages (including children) can be affected. If you are sitting straight with some pillow under the knee so that it will not create any compression forces because the forces are parallel in that position. But if it is young age then sit as your comfort.n"
