Brief Answer: Slight modifications in your life style can help. Detailed Answer: Hi, You might be suffering from patellar tendinitis or chondromalacia patellae, which causes pain in your knee when you straighten your limb or try to climb the stairs. This type of knee pain related to overuse or physical activity. Slight modifications in your life style can help. - Do regular knee exercises (quadriceps and hamstrings). - Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterwards. Stretch your quadriceps and hamstrings. - Lose weight if you are overweight. Every pound that you are overweight puts about 5 extra pounds of pressure on your knee cap when you go up and down stairs. -Do hot fomentation of your knee to reduce pain and swelling. Do it for 20-30 minutes every 3-4 hours for 2-3 days, or until the pain and swelling is gone. -Compress your knee. Use an elastic bandage, straps, or sleeves on your knee to control swelling. -Elevate your knee on a pillow when you're sitting or lying down. -Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day. -Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation -Take diet rich in calcium, vitamin d3 and minerals.
