Knee hurts.. again! What can I do to treat it?
I had hurt my knee after doing several squats(~150) but swift and not careful so my knees extended past my toes...
I rested my knees and did not do any workout during the summer till in a minute (around 2 months later) and it completelly stopped hurting. A few days ago my knee started acting up like a small ichy backache. Unfortunatelly i did work it out a bit with a few half squats and the knees started aching again.
Any recommendations? Can it be a unalterable? What can have happened?
Answer: It could be tendonitis. Potassium supplements will assistance somewhat with the pain. The best entity you can do for the actual knee, though, is to do exercises to strengthen the muscles around the kneecap so it doesn't hyperextend quite so smoothly. After you work out, put an ice pack (or a bag of frozen peas, which conforms to the nouns better) on the knee for 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. Rest it as much as possible after a work out and elevate it while you are icing..
