I used to run before and now my knee pains a lot, especially going down stairs. Im 6 months along. Is it the pregnancy weight ya something else? Anyone experienced this?
Oh, I totally understand how painful and exhausting it is when your knees hurt with every step you take. Your body is carrying so much extra weight to protect your sweet baby, so please give your legs some rest. Put a warm compress and let your family pamper you a bit.
I had terrible knee pain during my second trimester, and my hospital's physical therapy department helped me so much. They gave me specific prenatal knee exercises and checked my posture. I highly recommend asking your hospital staff for a quick safe consult.
Haha, runner's knee? I feel like I ran a full marathon just walking from my bed to the kitchen! Yes, the extra weight and weird hormones make our joints feel like jelly. Just put your feet up, eat some snacks, and let your husband do all the running around!
My saas told me to avoid sitting cross-legged on the floor and gave me warm oil to massage my knees gently. It actually helped with that sharp knee pain. But don't do any self-treatments or heavy exercises without asking your doctor first.
My mother told me it happens due to the extra weight shifting our body balance. But my doctor explained that a hormone called relaxin makes joints loose during pregnancy, causing knee pain. Do discuss this with your gynac, they might suggest some safe physiotherapy.
Yes, absolutely. Your weight is increasing rapidly and the hormones are softening your ligaments, so knee pain is very common. Stop doing heavy running or straining workouts right now, and wear supportive shoes.
