Knee Pain post workout
Hi doc,
I started going to yoga class and dance fitness since last 1 month, from 2 week on ward it started paining in knee, its paining while climbing steps, sitting and standing...
It's been 3 weeks still it's paining. Is it normal?. Can I continue to do the workouts, or what I have to do to stop this pain

1. Stop attending yoga and dance classes for now.
2. Visit an orthopedic surgeon for a clinical examination.
3. Ligament or cartilage injuries should be ruled out following the clinical evaluation.
4. Ice packs and analgesics can help manage discomfort until you see the orthopedic surgeon.

STOP your workouts immediately
Put a static knee brace for a while and do not squat/sit cross legged for a month

If symptoms still not subside then will need a proper examination to look for ligament injuries and eventually you may need a knee MRI

Maybe you are doing squats using the wrong technique or doing too much in too short a time for fitness's sake... Give a break or keep it low.. Pre-workout warm-ups and post-work-up icing help. It's looking like knee cap pain. Take Vitamin D supplements. Needs further information for coming to a proper diagnosis..
