What to do if your knees hurt from climbing stairs

Stair climbing knee pain is treated with conservative treatment and surgery depending on the condition. It is usually caused by overstrain leading to joint adhesion or osteoarthritis of the knee joint, which need to be actively treated. 1. Knee joint adhesion: first of all, local hot compresses can be applied to loosen the adhesion, usually using hot water bags or hot salt bags for hot compresses, and acupuncture, massage and other ways of physical therapy to promote recovery, and oral ibuprofen for pain relief; if the symptoms can not be relieved, the adhesion in the joints can be loosened for treatment. 2. Osteoarthritis of the knee: usually treated with medication, such as non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug Celecoxib to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, sodium hyaluronate injection into the knee joint cavity, lubrication of the joints, and other conservative treatments; if the conservative treatments are not effective, then it will be treated by surgery, and then the knee arthroplasty will be carried out. If you have knee pain when climbing stairs, please consult a doctor in time and take active treatment to avoid delaying the condition. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
