I have pain in my left knee after few hrs of sitting in office or in the morning [when i wake up]. Can you please suggest me what to do?
Ans: Thank you for your inquiry. Without knowing your age, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms. However, based on the information provided, it seems indicative of potential knee osteoarthritis, especially given the onset of pain in one knee accompanied and complain occur after sitting for few hours.I recommend consulting with an Orthopedic Surgeon for a thorough evaluation and X-ray examination to confirm the diagnosis. In the meantime, engaging in knee-strengthening exercises such as VMO Strengthening, Straight Leg Raises, Lunges, and Squats may help alleviate symptoms and improve joint function.
Additionally, it's advisable to avoid prolonged periods of sitting and to take regular breaks. Extended periods of sitting can exacerbate knee discomfort and contribute to stiffness. Therefore, remember to take frequent breaks to stand, stretch, or walk around, as this can help alleviate pressure on the knees and promote circulation
