What to do if your knee hurts when going up and down stairs? Pay attention to these things

Many people experience knee pain when going up and down stairs. This may be caused by excessive fatigue when climbing stairs. As for the problem of what to do when knee pain occurs when going up and down stairs, people must pay attention to rest when climbing stairs and can give appropriate knee massages when their knees hurt.

1. Maintain a normal weight and don’t be too fat

The heavier it is, the greater the burden on your knees. The key to maintaining a standard weight is to eat less high-calorie foods and exercise more.

For friends who have already gained weight, it is recommended to first choose forms of exercise such as slow walking, swimming, and cycling. These exercises can not only reduce the weight on the knees, but also help lose weight; while exercises such as climbing stairs and climbing mountains should be avoided. In addition, friends who already feel knee discomfort should carry or lift fewer heavy objects to reduce the burden on the knees.

2. Exercise the muscles around the knee joint

When the thigh muscles become stronger, they can indirectly reduce the pressure between the kneecap and femur, reduce wear and tear, and delay knee aging. In addition, moderate exercise can increase synovial fluid in the knee joint, keep the joint cavity moist, and reduce cartilage wear.

3. Exercise requires skills

Exercises such as slow walking, swimming, and cycling are all very friendly to the knees. When running, dancing, and other exercises, you need to pay attention to the following: try to choose a plastic sports field instead of a hard concrete floor; choose sports shoes with a cushioning effect; try to avoid squats, big jumps, quick translations, and other movements to avoid injuring your knees.
