Weak Knees

The knee joint bears a lot of your body weight, so caring for your knees is critical. Simple wear and tear can greatly reduce the strength of your knees, causing pain and discomfort. If you are experiencing weak knees, you’ll want to take action to strengthen your weak knee joints. Check out our weak knee exercises you can use to relieve your knee pain and strengthen the muscles that support your knees.

Weak Knees Causes

There are many causes for weak knees including illnesses, injuries, and overuse. Some of the most common causes are:

  • Arthritis
  • Strains and sprains
  • Torn cartilage or ligament
  • Infection of the knee joint
  • Lack of physical activity
  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome

A physician can properly diagnose the cause of your weak knees and help you determine the best course of action.

 

Weak Knees Symptoms

When considering weak knees symptoms, keep in mind that the severity of the pain and the exact location could vary depending on the issue. With that in mind, the following are some typical weak knee symptoms:

  • Swelling and stiffness of the knee
  • Redness
  • A burning sensation
  • Instability and weakness
  • Popping noises when the joint is bent
  • The inability to straighten the knee
  • Difficulty transitioning from a sitting to a standing position

 

Weak Knees Treatment

Treatment focuses on providing immediate relief through support or compression and on strengthening the knees to address the underlying cause of your weak knees. These exercises can not only relieve the joint pain, but will also help prevent re-injury.

Like with most joint pain, ice packs or heating pads can help reduce swelling and pain. Proper footwear and postures can really make a difference when it comes to knee pain and weakness.

Help immensely
"I could not bare any weight on both knees. I effects my feet , ankles and back. It’s all aligned. Ive trie so many knee braces even custom made. None worked as I have a large thigh 24” and small calf 13”. Every one just slides down my leg when I walk. I had had these from the orthopedic dr tried them again out of desperation as walking with pain, unable to bear weight. Could not get up from any chairs this is no lie. I put these on for support BOTH KNEES for 3 days now. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE TRUE RELIEF I HAVE HAD. THIS IS NOT MADE UP I REALLY THINK THESE HAVE HELPED AND SUPPORT MY KNEES TREMENDOUSLY. I’m not a runner just a 67yr retired nurse for 42 yrs on my feet. I am riddle with arthritis through out my body, osteoarthritis NEED 2KNEE REPLACEMENT but cardiac reasons just can’t do it yet. I’ve done gel, steroids both injected and orally, even paid for amniotic tissue injection. I can’t take nsaids use voltaren for temporary relief. I have rheumatoid arthritis with monthly infusion. Constant pain to knees I CAN FULLY HONESTLY SAY THIS HAS BEEN THE ONLY BRACE THAT HAS HELPED TO GIVE ME SOME RELIEF. They don’t fall down they stay in place they just support my knees so I can walk. Yesterday and today without pain If I take them off I have pain may sleep with them. THEY HELPED ME " - Kathy P.
