I’m 25 and I’m deaf, can’t sleep, can’t eat, everything hurts, hands don’t work, and fucking wheat is trying to kill me. But hey, at least my dogs are adorable little idiots and I’m about to move somewhere much safer and happier (where water actually falls from the sky) with my best friend.
I could still do without the knee pain though.
Do leg stretches every day. Most knee pain is associated with certain muscles overpowering others in rest state. Stretch them out to reset that balance. It’s worked wonders for me, started seeing results in ~2weeks.
My knee pain is associated with arthritis, unfortunately. I wish stretching helped. I’m even a couple years younger than OP, but when I walk up stairs it sounds like I’m crinkling two big balls of cellophane.
Any specific stretches you can recommend?
My knees have been weak compared to the surrounding muscles all my life, and now that I’m in my 40s and overweight, that’s really taking its toll lol
I usually do quad stretches, forward bend, downward dog, childs pose, pretzel, and figure 4. I think the figure 4 has had the largest impact loosening up the glute to knee connection.
Most of the aches and pains related to “aging” are significantly alleviated by reducing your total body weight. Especially in America, where 2/3 of us are overweight or obese.
Most of losing weight is diet not exercise.
So, study some nutrition and cooking, eat better, go on walks and do some pushups, and you’ll be more fit in 3-6 months.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
