7 Ways to Relieve Knee Pain - Ask Doctor Jo

Stretching the muscles around your knee will help take pressure off the knee joint. Calf stretches, hamstring stretches, and quad stretches are important to help relieve knee pain.

If you’ve had a knee injury or surgery, sometimes you want to transition for a knee brace that might have hinges to something a little less before just a sleeve or nothing at all. The folks at Bracoo sent me their KP41 Patent Athletics Knee Compression Sleeve. It has some silicone support to help remind your muscles to work, but not as much as a hinged brace.

Finally, exercises for the knee include seated LAQ (knee extension), seated hip flexion, and sit to stand. You can progress your sit to stand to squats when you are ready.

Thanks a bunch for this! I'm 6 weeks post meniscus root repair surgery and just got off the crutches/brace. Still have some pain but wanting to branch out on my exercises. I loved the sit to stand tips: wide stance and good leg in back/injured out front... That is exactly what I needed and they make a huge difference!

You may not see this, but what should I do? I have a weird situation, tore my ACL, and I had surgery 6 months ago. When I was going on a run, my knee popped, and it is very concerning, it didnt hurt at all at first, then when I went home and took a nap, I woke up to some pain. Mostly on the side of my knees and the inside of my knees, I also noticed that when I bend my knee, it cracks 6-7 times, and when I try to straighten it, it cracks 2 times everytime. Please help, I don’t have money for surgery or rehab, I just want my knee back to normal.😭 sorry this is lengthy, but like i said there isnt a whole lot of pain, only in certain situations, but the knee popping alot when I bend it scares me

Hello. The Bracoo discount code is not working. It says invalid. Is there a new/updated code? Both of my knees are in need of this brace and saving 20% would be very helpful.

Hi Dr.Jo,
New subscriber here. Your videos are awesome!!
I am dealing with burning knee pain for past 6 months. Didn't injure anywhere. Diagnosed with PFPS and patella alta after doing an MRI. Going to PT sessions for past 3 and a half months. No improvement yet. I don't know what's going wrong. Pt doesn't improve the symptoms at all. I have the burning pain still. It pains while sitting, standing and lying down. i.e knees bent and straight. What to do for this issue? My pt did 2 sessions of dry needling too. They said that will help. But that doesn't ease the pain. What to do next for my issues? In your experience and knowledge, I think you will have some inputs for my knee condition. Thanks!
