Pain In Front Of Right Knee, Taking Heavy Weight And Climbing Stairs. Remedy?
I am a 46 yr. old man in good health, with an extremely hard job and each job is different. Right now I climb stairs about 12 stories high while carrying about 100 lbs. 3 times up these stairs. Then 3 times up and down these 12 stories with no weight during the day. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now. The front of my right knee is starting to become very painful and my knee feels like it wants to bend the wrong way. What is happening and what can I do to get some relief ?

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
you are suffering from knee osteoarthritis ,may be specially patello-femoral arthritis
at your age process of degenaration starts and lead to cartilage damage
take some analgesic , cartilage protecting medicine
you will need X RAY knee
mean while take rest ,climbing stairs is going to aggrivate pain so try to avoid that
physio - SWD USG TENS
quadriceps exersizes
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
