My knee pain is not due to injury.... it might be due to lack of muscle supporting the joints. Therefore I do a lot of resistance training to try to build muscle. That said... I'm OK walking but when I run, my right knee hurts which slows me down greatly. I do not take NSAIDs daily.... I take them once or twice a week and the dosage is either 600mg or 800mg. I take them for softball practice and games. I'm 62 YO and have do not take any medicine other than the Advil. When I'm on the Advil, it feels like I'm 20 years younger in physical terms. I enjoy sports but I'm worried about Kidney function going forward.
Although there may be some underlying anatomical reason for your right knee aggravation on running, barring any prior injury, we can probably say that it is not due to age, as the left knee does not respond the same. Therefore, the conclusion is most likely an imbalance that is unresolved with exercise and reveals itself upon engaging in an activity more strenuous than walking (i.e. running). The identification of the underlying imbalance and its origin is key to resolution. Another consideration is this: When NSAIDs work to relieve pain, prostaglandin activity should be investigated to eliminate any imbalance therein as a source of underlying inflammation.
@@QAHomeStudy Wow... thank you so much for the reply! I think it may be blood related... I've noticed that one of the more prominent arteries that runs down the interior of my right leg is often.... for lack of a better term, deflated. The working out has helped... It may be because I also sit at a desk quite a bit and it is constricting blood flow down the let. Either way, no need to answer if you're busy, and thanks again for the reply.
