Knee pain on being seated for long

2026-06-15 06:35:11
I've noticed over the last few months that every time I undertake any travel for >3 hours my knees start to hurt a bit and one hurts more than the other. From what I know I'm too young for this symptom. Is there a cause for concern or do I need to take OTC joint health meds or investigate it? It only happens when seated in a chair for long hours. I've always found it uncomfortable to sit in a chair for long and would prefer folding my legs up but some times it's not possible.

Avoid stressing it for too long. Take frequent breakes. Avoid stressors acutely and train your muscles to unload joint over the time. The issue will subside over the time. Get vit d and 12 tested. Or may consult a physiotherapist for knee assessment
