How to get up from a squatting knee

For patients who have difficulty standing up after squatting, it is usually due to meniscus damage or cartilage degeneration inside the knee joint. This condition is common in people who are engaged in heavy physical labor or middle-aged or elderly people, which may cause pain in the knee joint and difficulty getting up when walking up or down stairs or squatting. First of all, after this condition occurs, you must pay more attention to keep warm and avoid getting cold, so as not to aggravate cartilage and meniscus degeneration after getting cold, which will aggravate the pain in the knee joint. Secondly, we can apply heat to the knee joint and use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chondrotropic drugs to relieve the pain and slow down the development of the disease. If necessary, joint cavity puncture and injection of nutritional lubricant sodium glacial can be performed to relieve the patient’s symptoms. If the patient’s knee pain and inability to stand up do not improve significantly after the above treatment, minimally invasive knee arthroscopy can be considered to repair or shape the cartilage and meniscus inside the knee joint to relieve the patient’s symptoms of squatting and inability to stand up.
