Knee pain has a host of causes. Many types of pain are difficult to prevent, but you can do some general things to reduce the likelihood of sustaining a knee injury. 1. Stay slim Staying slim reduces the forces placed on the knee during both athletics and everyday walking and, according to some medical research, may reduce osteoarthritis. Keeping your weight down may also reduce the number of ligament and tendon injuries for similar reasons. 2. Keep limber, keep fit Many knee problems are due to tight or imbalanced musculature. Stretching and strengthening, therefore, also help to prevent knee pain . Stretching keeps your knee from being too tight and aids in preventing both patellofemoral syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome. Strengthening exercises particularly of the quadriceps (straight leg raises and leg extensions are two excellent exercises, but please see a book on exercise and training for more) can help prevent knee injury. 3. Exercise wis...

The cause of the hip pain will direct the treatment provided. Aside from medications, therapy will be directed to maintain the strength and range of motion of the hip. As with any illness or injury, the goal is to return the patient to their normal level of function. A team approach involving the health care professional, physical therapist, or chiropractic care provider may be considered. When Is Surgery Needed for Hip Pain? Hip fractures commonly require surgery to fix the fracture. The type of surgery depends upon the location of the fracture within the hip joint. The underlying health of the patient needs to be assessed, and the risks of general anesthesia need to be considered. Surgery often occurs soon after the injury, if the patient's condition allows, to allow quicker return of activity. Patients who are immobilized and lie in bed for prolonged periods of time are at risk for developing blood clots in their legs (deep vein thrombosis) and breakdown of the...

As we age, the body tends to tolerate falling less easily. Falls often can cause contusions (or bruising) and inflammation of the tissues that are damaged. This pain may not be felt immediately, and the injured area may begin to stiffen and get sore over a few hours. If the patient can stand and walk relatively easily with minimal limp, then it is reasonable to rest and ice the injured areas and begin activity as tolerated. Just because a patient can move the hip joint does not mean that there is not a broken bone present. In some hip fractures, the bones may be impacted and allow some movement or even weight-bearing for a short period of time. Over-the-counter pain medications (acetaminophen [Tylenol], ibuprofen [Advil, Motrin], naproxen [Aleve]) may be taken for pain control. It is important to remember that while over-the-counter medications do not require a prescription, they may have side effects or interactions with prescription medications. Especially in older people, ...

Hip pain is often difficult to describe, and patients may complain that the hip just hurts. The location, description, intensity of pain, what makes it better, and what makes it worse depend upon what structure is involved and the exact cause of the inflammation and injury. Pain from the hip joint may be felt anteriorly (in front of the hip) as groin pain, laterally over the greater trochanter (the outer aspect of the hip), or posteriorly in the buttock. Sometimes the patient may complain of knee pain that has been referred from the hip. This is especially true in children. Trauma to the hip: With a fall, direct blow, twist, or stretch, the pain is felt almost immediately. Overuse injury: The onset of pain may be delayed by minutes or hours as inflamed muscles surrounding the hip joint go into spasm or joint surfaces become inflamed, causing fluid accumulation. Overuse injuries may also cause cartilage, labrum, or capsule damage, resulting in inflammation, pain, and...

Facts You Should Know About Hip Pain The hip is a ball and socket joint that attaches the leg to the torso of the body. In the hip joint, the head of the femur (thighbone) swivels within the acetabulum, the socket, made up of pelvic bones. While many causes of hip pain can arise from the joint itself, there are numerous structures surrounding the hip that can also be the source of pain. Trauma is often the cause of hip pain, but any source of inflammation may cause pain in the hip area. Pain is one of the symptoms of inflammation, along with swelling, warmth, and redness; together these are signals and symptoms that a problem may exist. Seek medical care if you are concerned that a bone is broken, if you're experiencing fever and swelling, or you have a loss of bladder or bowel function. Hip pain treatment depends upon your underlying illnesses and diagnosis. What Causes Hip Pain? Pain may arise from structures that are within the hip joint or from structures s...

Orthopedic surgeons replace knee joints in order to end pain, stiffness, and loss of function. What Are Reasons for a Knee Joint Replacement?

But knee damage may also stem from injury or infection. Sometimes, people with severe rheumatoid arthritis of the knee can require a TKA at an early age.
