7 Easy Knee Pain Remedies
After a long day on your feet, knee pain sufferers know that their knees are going to be killing them. When your knees are sore you want easy relief, you want to be able to feel it right away. There are several things you can do to get simple, no-fuss reprieve from knee pain. Don’t you wish there was a list of these knee pain remedies that you could easy reference when your knee joints are throbbing? Luckily for you, there is!
- Give your knees plenty of rest. If you know that your knees are a touchy subject, avoid those activities that you know aggravate the pain. I know it may be hard to opt to sit out on a game of hoops with your buddies, but if you suspect it will cause more harm than good, sit it out this time. This requires actively listening to your body and its needs before your knees are hurting.
- Invest in a better pair of shoes. Don’t underestimate the importance of a good pair of supportive sneakers. If you are always wearing the latest style of high heels to work, it may be contributing to your knee pain. I’m not suggesting a pair of frumpy nurse shoes necessarily, but don’t sacrifice comfort for style. There are several name-brand shoes that specialize in both.
- Ice – The tried and true is still the best. Ice is a great remedy for knee pain. It provides comfort, or at least numbs and deadens pain, and it also helps reduce swelling. Keep several of those squishy blue reusable icepacks in your freezer for when your knee pain flares up. Wrap the icepack in a thin flannel or dishcloth so it is more comfortable against the skin.
- Begin exercising on a cushioned surface. Instead of running on the street for exercise, consider an indoor track. Often, the indoor track will be made of rubber that will aid in cushioning your knee joints. If you like to walk, consider walking on the grass instead of the pavement.
- Get some support. I don’t mean the emotional kind, although that couldn’t hurt. A good supportive knee brace can help alleviate knee pain. Be careful when selecting one that is supportive but not too tight. If the brace is too tight it may actually cause more damage by forcing the joint into an unnatural position.
- Warm up and stretch. Both before exercise and before you go to sleep, warming the muscles with heat (as long as you are sure you don’t have any swelling) is a good way to relax knee pain and prevent injury. Stretching is an excellent way to promote flexibility and strength in your legs.
- Take a pain reliever. You may assume I left the simplest for last, and you’d be right. An over-the-counter anti-inflammatory is an easy way to reduce your knee pain. Doctors recommend ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and swelling in joints. It’s usually gentle on the stomach in small doses, and recent studies indicate that it may be better for knee pain in the long term as well.
Now that you have this simple list of fuss-free knee pain remedies, get to it! Try a few from the list and see how well incorporating even just one or two of these ideas will help your pain disappear.

Try this…
Set up a relaxed,comfortable atmosphere,somewhere in the house where you and your mother won’t be disturbed.
Get your mother to get into something that makes her feel comfortable,then get her to lie down or just sit somewhere making sure that she is totally relaxed,then you should put your hands over her knees, while you do this, in your minds eye imagine that your mothers pain is no more, imagine that she has no pain at all,Ask the Universe to take her pain away and get rid of it for good! keep asking until you know by gut feeling that all her pain has gone, then when you know it’s gone and she even says it’s gone,ask the Universe to replace what was a painful knee with love, then ask the Universe to replace the pain for love and do it again until you think it right to remove your hands. Once you feel it’s time to remove your hands,thank the Universe for it’s Positive energy,for it’s love.:D
While doing this your hands should feel either tingly or hot, if your not sure wether this is working or not ask your mother if she can feel anything.
It’s always nice to have some peaceful relaxing music playing and use some candles to help with the mood setting.
Do this when you know you have time.
Do this whenever you or anyone else you know is in pain.
Most IMPORTANT is that you believe that the Universe is going to help you to make your mothers knee better and loved.
You can do this for emotional pain too.
please keep intouch and let me know how it went
Best wishes and luck, most of all much LOVE!

TRY DRINKING APPLE CIDER VINEGAR…
To maximize the benefits of apple cider vinegar, a general dosage of one teaspoon is usually recommended stirred into a 6 or 8 oz. glass of water. Most people cannot drink even this level of dilution of apple cider vinegar and usually add a tablespoon of honey, preferably organic. This dosage can be repeated at each meal, but most find this difficult. Many people find it much more palatable to pour some over their favorite salad.
Vinegar helps:
* Clear your sinusitis Stop hair loss
* Remove toxins from your body Stop a leaky nose
* Prevent mild food poisoning Relieve your joint pains
* Rid your constipation Combat fungal and bacterial infections
* Prevent indigestion Lower your cholesterol
* Lower your blood pressure Prevent obesity, lose weight
* Lower incidents of weak bones Relieve arthritis
I am drinking it regularly, and all my joint pain gone……
go search " APPLE CIDER VINEGAR"
you will be very surprise of how effective it works wonder….
