Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness might have developed due to weakness of the ligaments &inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee. You need to consume good protein and iron diet in your body which will help you to break the fatigue and general body pain. However non veg foods definitely makes you to get increased with the toxin levels in the body and it makes your knee to have less fluid content in the system. In general we suggest patients who has knee pain to eat more water content vegetables which will definitely help you to feel better. This is a general knee pain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, it looks like you are is important to check that. Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having body pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for knee pain. With knee exercises you will definitely feel better and muscles must be strengthened. •patellar tendinitis: •risk factor •a combination of factors may contribute to the development of patellar tendinitis, including: •physical activity. •running and jumping are most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in how hard or how often you engage in the activity also add stress to the tendon, as can changing your running shoes. •tight leg muscles. Tight thigh muscles (quadriceps) and hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, can increase strain on your patellar tendon. ••muscular imbalance. •if some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis. •chronic illness. •some illnesses disrupt blood flow to the knee, which weakens the tendon. Examples include kidney failure, autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. •complications •if you try to work through your pain, ignoring your body's warning signs, you could cause increasingly larger tears in the patellar tendon. Knee pain and reduced function can persist if you don't tend to the problem, and you may progress to the more serious patellar tendinopathy. •prevention •to reduce your risk of developing patellar tendinitis, take these steps: •don't play through pain. As soon as you notice exercise-related knee pain, ice the area and rest. Until your knee is pain-free, avoid activities that put stress on your patellar tendon. •strengthen your muscles. Strong thigh muscles are better able to handle the stresses that can cause patellar tendinitis. Eccentric exercises, which involve lowering your leg very slowly after extending your knee, are particularly helpful. •improve your technique. To be sure you're using your body correctly, consider taking lessons or getting professional instructions when starting a new sport or using exercise equipment. •therapy •a variety of physical therapy techniques can help reduce the symptoms associated with patellar tendinitis, including: •patellar tendon strap. A strap that applies pressure to your patellar tendon can help to distribute force away from the tendon and direct it through the strap instead. This may help relieve pain. •iontophoresis. This therapy involves spreading a corticosteroid medicine on your skin and then using a device that delivers a low electrical charge to push the medication through your skin. •platelet-rich plasma injection. This type of injection has been tried in some people with chronic patellar tendon problems. Studies are ongoing. It is hoped the injections might promote new tissue formation and help heal tendon damage. •probably your stamina would've gone down due to over use of the joints and the metabolic activity is more due to running. You need to consume good protein diet so that your body will act as a reservoir. It will help you to fight against rather than affecting one particular area of your body for eg. Knee joint. For knee ligament pain or inflammation you need to keep ice which will help you to prevent the inflammation progressing further. •patellofemoral pain syndrome •usually fully relieved with simple measures or physical therapy. It may recur, however, if you do not make adjustments to your training routine or activity level. It is essential to maintain appropriate conditioning of the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and the hamstrings. •there are additional steps that you can take to prevent recurrence of patellofemoral •they include: •wearing shoes appropriate to your activities •warming up thoroughly before physical activity •incorporating stretching and flexibility exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings into your warm-up routine, and stretching after physical activity •increasing training gradually •reducing any activity that has hurt your knees in the past •maintaining a healthy body weight to avoid overstressing your knees ••d cartilageacl •joints, ie. In the upper limbs if the pain is present in the fingers/wrist and in the lower limbs it the pain is present in the toes/ ankle, then we shall definitely say it is rheumatic arthritis. •if your proximal joints (ie. Shoulder, hip & knee has pain) then you can pour hot (warm) water in that area to reduce the inflammation. If you have pain in the distal joints ie. Wrist, fingers, ankle, toes then you can wear either elbow brace or wrist brace which will help you to feel warm and very protective. And also immerse the distal joints in the hot water tub which will help you to reduce the pain. ••knee pain during driving or watching movie. •it might due to lack of movements in the knee while the joints are immobilized during driving and while watching movies. It is important that you need to have movements in and around the knee so that the blood flow will not be disturbed. •knee ligament laxity•if you have problem in your legs then it might be due to ligament laxity where your legs would become very weak due to the old ligament injury and that should be treated immediately. •wear knee cap so that you will feel firm while walking or climbing stairs.•this is a general strain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, if pain still persists you can stretch your body by twisting the waist on both sides how we used to do in the school drill similarly you can try! one time you can do hot water fermentation that would help to reduce the muscle strain.•legs becoming numb and also pain is there when the patient walks for 10-15 minutes?•it looks like you are anaemic.

Symptoms of arthritis symptoms of osteoarthritis may include joint pain and progressive stiffness that develops gradually. Symptoms of may include painful swelling, inflammation, and stiffness in the fingers, arms, legs, and wrists occurring in the same joints on both sides of the body, especially upon waking up in the morning. Knee arthritis can be painful and debilitating. For osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee, self-care early on can often help significantly. It is important to stretch and strengthen the surrounding leg muscles to provide more support and reduce stresses around the joint. The following best bet exercises will help you get started on your path to feeling stronger, more flexible and more active. Remember: exercise should not be painful – if you experience pain, discontinue and consult with your physician. Advice: 1.must take adequate rest 2.apply hot water with mild heat with cotton towel 3.avoid cross leg sitting and long time standing 4. Put the small size chair under the ankle during sitting in the chair for leg elevation 5.do the exercise given below 2 times per day 1.quadriceps setting exercise helps to strengthen the quadriceps muscle (the big muscle on the front of the thigh), an important stabilizer of the knee. Lie on your back with the leg you want to exercise straight. Place a small rolled towel underneath the knee. Slowly tighten the muscle on top of the thigh (quadriceps) and push the back of the knee down into the rolled towel. Hold contraction for 5 seconds and then slowly release, resting 5 seconds between each contraction. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions, 1 time daily. 2.straight leg raise also helps to strengthen the quadriceps muscle. Lie on your back with the leg you want to exercise straight. The other knee should be bent to support your lower back. Tighten the muscle on the top of your thigh and lift to the level of your other knee. Slowly lower.

If you are suffering from burning pain or tingling sensation in hands or feet; sharp shooting pain in legs; numbness in hands or feet, then you might be suffering from neuropathic pain. What is a neuropathic pain? Neuropathic pain is a special type of pain which occurs when there is damage to nerve fibres, which produces tingling or burning type of pain. It is of two types: 1. Peripheral neuropathic pain: it occurs when there is an injury to peripheral nerve fibres (a-delta or c-fibers) which carries pain sensation to the brain (thalamus) for interpretation. 2. Central neuropathic pain: it occurs due to sensitization of central pain interpreting mechanisms (thalamus) to falsely feel pain when peripheral nerve fibres are no longer sending pain impulses to them. Worldwide-estimates of the prevalence of neuropathic pain is 7% i.e. 7 persons out of 100 people are suffering from different types of neuropathic pain. Symptoms: •tingling sensation or feeling of ants crawling under skin •burning sensation •sharp shooting pain or electric current-like sensation •stabbing pain •dull pain with numbness or heaviness reasons for neuropathic pain: •diabetes mellitus: most common cause worldwide due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels, causing damage to nerve fibres. •alcohol consumption/cigarette smoking: damage to nerve fibres or damage to blood vessels supplying nerve fibres. Burning pain in feet •neck pain/low back pain/glutei pain •vit. B12 deficiency •chemotherapy for cancer patients •post-herpes virus infection •post-spine surgery •post-amputation •diseases like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, hiv, lead toxicity, etc. Special neuropathies: 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome: tingling, burning sensation in hand which occurs due to compression of median nerve in the wrist area. It occurs in women especially due to pregnancy, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc. And in men due to improper position of the wrist during working on computers. 2. Cervical radiculopathy: pain in neck and shoulder region (which increases with neck movements), along with sharpshooting pain radiating from neck to hand occurs in cases of cervical radiculopathy.
