Pain on Side of knees

2018-03-10 14:04:46
I am a regular trekker. Go on hiking Evey few months. I used to run in the mornings to prepare for trekking. One day I ran a much longer trip than usual. Since then the outer and lower area of my knees hurt. In my last trek, the right knee was very painful. Every time I folded, the side of the knee hurt too much.

• Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold). • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Consult orthopaedic doctor. You need further evaluation. If it is anterior knee pain. It is likely due to patellar maltracking. Do VMO exercise
