Knee pain when moving up and down

Asked by Male, 50 · 22 days ago

Knee pain while going up and down stairs is commonly due to Patellofemoral pain syndrome or early wear of the joint. Rest the knee, avoid excessive stair use or squatting, apply warm compresses, and do gentle strengthening exercises for the thigh muscles. You can take simple pain relief like Paracetamol if needed. If the pain persists, worsens, or there is swelling or instability, consult an orthopedician for proper evaluation and physiotherapy guidance.
