Causes of pain in the bend of the knee behind the knee

Although there are many means of transportation nowadays, cars, electric cars and bicycles are all available for people to choose, but many people still like to walk, which can protect the environment and exercise the body. Some people don't know what's wrong with them. They often feel pain in the bend of the knee, especially when walking. The pain is very obvious. Let's learn about the reasons for the pain in the bend of the knee.

1. Overview

Sometimes when we move or walk, we feel pain in the popliteal fossa behind the knee. It is very painful and we don’t know what to do. I have some solutions here and I will share them with you now.

2. Steps/Methods:

First, popliteal pain behind the knee is generally related to neuromuscular lesions, so it would be better to keep warm. If it affects the calf muscle function or walking, or the pain is severe, go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.

Second, if you want to relieve the pain in the popliteal fossa behind the knee, you must exercise regularly, correctly and moderately, maintain a normal weight and avoid obesity.

Third, popliteal fossa pain behind the knee should prevent excessive fatigue. In the acute phase, you should rest properly, reduce activity, and keep the joint in a functional position. However, in the subacute or remission phase, you can perform joint function exercises and body care to prevent muscle atrophy and joint ankylosis and maintain optimal joint function.

3. Mitigation methods

1. Treatment

(1) In the acute phase, knee flexion and extension activities should be controlled to facilitate recovery of the disease. If necessary, use a small splint or plaster to fix it.

(2) In the chronic stage, the functional activities of the knee joint should be strengthened, and squatting and standing up exercises should be performed 50 times in a row in the morning and evening. Those who have difficulty squatting should squat as deep as possible while the pain is tolerable, and do repeated squatting and standing up exercises 50 times. Take once in the morning and evening every day.

(3) Massage. Ask the patient to lie prone, and after acupressure analgesia at the external opening of the adductor femoris canal (saphenous nerve) and the center of the fossa (tibial nerve) on the affected side, massage, pluck and press the painful points. Then let the patient lie on his back, overlap his palms and place them on the patella of the affected knee and perform vibration and pressure manipulation 20 to 30 times. Finally, hold the ankle of the affected side with both hands and kick forward and upward to stretch the lower limbs 10 to 20 times.

(4) Medium frequency treatment or application of Chinese medicine to the affected area can achieve certain results.

(5) Warm needle therapy often achieves good results.

(6) Local injection of 5 ml of a conventional combination of drugs at the lesion site can often produce significant results.

If you choose 2 to 3 of the above methods for comprehensive treatment, the effect will be better.

4. Notes:

If you have pain in the popliteal fossa behind the knee, you must keep warm, get more rest, avoid putting too much pressure on your knee, and eat more nutritious food.
