HELP!!! Pain, Pain & More Pain!

My right knee is hurting really bad. Every since I started exercising its been really irritating to focus, due to the pain. I purchased Icy Hot today and applied it, prayerfully that will help. Is anyone else going through the same issue. I keep proclaiming the devil is a liar. I will not give up, I must get this weight off and live a healtier lifestyle, in Jesus name!

    I don't have any knee pain, but I think I remember hearing that water exercise is a good alternative for those that have joint pain. The water takes the pressure off of the joints. If your gym has a pool, you should try out the water aerobics classes. Hopefully that will help. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

    Try icing it. that's what i do when my knee acts up : RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). In addition to the pool, maybe the elliptical or bicycle. Also consider whether you are doing too much too soon, if you're doing the exercise too frequently or if it's too high impact for you, if you're just beginning to exercise.

    hope it feels better soon.

    Thanks for the advice. I went to the doctor today and she too told me to take it easy. Too much exercise. She put me on rest for a few days. I'm also on crutches. Yuck!!!!
