What treatment is required for knee pain? I am getting regular knee pain on my left knee. This is happening since one year i.e when I was 51 years. It was happening for some times and gets healed but now a days slight pain is felt every day.

Ans: Hi Santosh,
The only permanent solution to a knee pain is doing knee exercises everyday. You can start with strengthening exercises for quadriceps and hamstrings muscle

Ans: Hello Santosh,
Knee pain has various causes. What is the cause of your knee pain? Have you seen any Dr like orthopedic or a physiotherapist. They need to diagnose the cause, then only we can help you.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Your right knee ligament broke and now you are getting pain on the front part of your right knee or left knee? You have written left knee.
If it is happening in the opposite knee then it could be due to that knee taking more strain. That usually happens post an injury. Even though we strengthen the muscles subconsciously our other knee tends to take more strain. Please check it out with a physiotherapist. They may need to release some muscles of the left knee and you should get better.
If your right knee is paining then better to do an x-ray and MRI of the right knee to check for the ligament and other soft tissue condition.
All the best!

Ans: Hi
Yes, injections really help but it’s subjective to different conditions. For now let’s go by what your doctor says since he/she knows your case fully with the current symptoms. With respect to exercise we can only start if it’s indicated by the doctor

Ans: Knee pain can be challenging, especially when it affects your daily yoga practice. At your age, it’s common for joints to wear down, which can lead to pain and swelling. While continuing to stay active is important, focusing on gentle, supportive movements will help.

Start with Gentle Knee-Strengthening Exercises like Ankle Pumps (raising and lowering the ankle while lying down) and Straight Leg Raises. These can help improve circulation and strengthen the muscles around the knee without putting strain on it.

Practicing Supported Chair Yoga can also be beneficial, as it reduces the load on your knees. For example, try Chair-assisted Forward Bends or gentle Twisting Poses to stretch and strengthen other parts of the body while keeping your knees safe. Simple Meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help manage pain by calming the mind and reducing tension.

It’s best to work with a yoga coach for personalized guidance. A coach can help you modify your practice safely and effectively, ensuring you stay active without worsening the pain.

Listen to your body, and take it slowly. Healing takes time and gentle care.
