Default How do I prevent my knees from hurting after working out or dancing? - 12-17-2008, 05:41 PM

Every time I work out at the gym (which I do low impact work-outs) or go dancing, my knees hurt the next day. They hurt to the point of where I can't walk up stairs or bend them. I'm only 18 and I'm not sure what I can do to make them stronger and I have always had weak knees. I can only imagine it will get worse as I get older.

I take ibuprofen, but maybe you should see a doctor! It seems like it happens a lot at your young age.

take time off from dancing. Stationary biking and running (dancing) in water are excellent alternatives. Besides biking and aquatics while not dancing, ice massage, oral anti-inflammatories (if tolerated) and work on correcting the biomechanical problems should be done, i.e. excessive rolling of the feet, too short Achilles tendons.
