    Default Can wrecked knees ever be fixed?

    Just wondering because at the moment I feel like a washed up old hag, but still look like a gorgeous young goddess (lol). I just came off an almost 10 hour shift (thanks daylight savings time) and I feel like someone beat me with a cane.

    I'm only 32, can I be repaired?

    Depends on what the problem is. If it's bursitis (swelling inside the joint) it will go away if you go easy on your knees for a while. If they tendon is stretched out, it will always be stretched...which is why it's SO important to be careful of your knees to begin with. If tendons are the issue, you could have surgery or you could do some physical therapy/yoga/muscle training to strengthen the muscles around the joint and keep everything in place. But definitely don't ignore it...knees are a very delicate joint. Find out what you're doing that stressing your knees and stop doing it!

    My knees feel better when I dance less. Our work is HARD on the knees. I'm 33 and I most definitely feel your pain!!! hehe

    Sometimes when I get on my knees I feel a burning sharp stinging shooting pain that is AWFUL. I have learned to spread my legs a bit when on my knees so I'm not putting my weight straight on them, but more on the side. It is much better that way. Also take hyaluronic acid.

    Find a way to go easier on them. Or start wearing over-the-knee boots (tall girls can rock these easily) I've met many a dancer who coddled her knees with the bracing from these boots.

    In the past month or so I've noticed that when I bear down on my left knee I get a sharp, stinging pain that hurts so bad it brings tears to my eyes. This has never happened before and only happens when I kneel on hard surfaces like the stage. But it seems to be getting worse. I can't imagine what happened because I haven't injured it and it doesn't hurt any other time. It sounds like what you described, Bridgette. WTF? Is this normal? Am I just getting old?
