Knee pain while climbing stairs
I am experiencing knee pain while climb and descending stairs, specially in the right knee. And I usually have digestion, gastric, acidity issues. These days I am feeling a little low in general.
the symptoms are suggestive of patellofemoral pain wherein your quadriceps muscle is feeling overused as it has become weak or inefficient. This can happen due to sitting cross-legged with your right leg for longer durations. avoid sititng cross-legged.
