Pain in knees and ankles
Recently, I’ve been getting pain in my knees and ankles. I’m only 31 — is it possible that this is some kind of early onset arthritis? I notice that the pain worsens when the weather turns cold or when it rains. I feel like an old lady for saying this! After my hot yoga class, the pain grows too. What kind of exercise can I pursue despite my weak knees? And what kind of things should I be doing to ease the discomfort?
answer:
You may have injured your joints inadvertently. The treatment is to rest the joints affected. Take anti-inflammatory drugs and sit back. If you persist in exercising, the pain in the joints will never have a chance to recover. Isometric exercises will probably be the best option to strengthen the joints before pursuing normal exercise again. Ask a physiotherapist to set up an exercise regime. And then understand your joint actions so that you can create the proper exercises to ease the pain in the long run.
