What should I do with severe knee pain when climbing stairs?

Question

Hello. I have severe pain in my knees, especially when walking. I went to the doctor and he gave me painkillers. I wanted to know if it will be fixed or not and what should be done.

Answer 1

If the pain does not start suddenly, it is a sign of Osteoarthritis.

Answer 2

It can be due to Chondromalacia patellae, which is treated the same in both cases. Rest in pain. Fasting and light exercises after the pain is over. Sit on a chair and gently straighten your knees. 15 times on each leg and hold for 5 to 10 seconds each time the knee comes up. Gradually use the elastic for more pressure after a few weeks of training.
