Sore Knees.... :(

Peppermint essential oil will work wonders. 3-5 drops in 1 tsp of a carrier oil (Like sweet almond oil, olive oil or fractionated coconut oil) per knee. I also have a blend called Deep Blue that is specifically made for aches and pains. You can message me if you want more info on that.

Did you sore knees start after you bought your new shoes? If so, I agree with the other poster about getting new shoes. My knees got a lot better after I changed my shoes plus I take The Vitamin Shoppe Bio-Cell Collagen. After I started taking it the soreness reduced. If I don't take it for a couple of days I notice a difference. Of course, my knees are a lot older than yours.

For some quick, temporary I wrap a heating pad on my knee with an ace bandage for a bit

Get a foam roller - sports/fitness stores will have them. Ask them to show you how to use it to relieve knee pain - I can't describe it accurately enough for you, but it has worked WONDERS on my poor knees. It hurts at first, but the relief is fantastic.

Arnica cream is good topically. Glucosamine is awesome.

What can I do to help relieve sore knees? I've added walking/jogging in the evenings to my routine and since I have started to develop sore knees... It's not unbearable, but it is uncomfortable. Anything I can do to help relieve them?

I have a bad knee. When I went to see a specialist he told me no jumping jacks and no jogging/running. He told me those are really bad for my knee. He said that I should stay away from those. I have a slight bow in my right knee that makes the impact on my knee wrong. You may have the same problem as I do.

I ice 20 minutes at a time, advil to for the inflamation and add in crill oil or fish oil, will help in about a month if you take it daily. Im post double knee surgery years ago, and still have knee probs

Awesome shoes ... # 1. ICE. Not heat. 20 mins on / 20 mins off. Icy Hot Roll on. Is this new exercise for you ?? Maybe soft tissues adjusting to new activity you are engaging in ? No prior knee probs or injuries?

I'm pretty hip to knees. Lost my right lateral meniscus ... HUGE OUCH. Resulted in TKR. I'm 1 yr. postoperative. Take care of those knees!!!!!!

Exercises to strengthen quads and hamstrings !!! good strong quads support the knees
NSAIDs ..such as Aleve. Fish oil very good ..daily

My knees were sore when I came back to running after being away for two years. I went to a personal trainer who said that the muscles supporting my knee were weak, and that was why it was sore. The muscles were not only weak, they were no longer strong enough to do their job properly, which added strain to the joint which meant knee pain. So she had me do adductor and abductor exercises! The best one was simple and fun. She took a rubber exercise band, a smallish one, and placed about 5" above my ankles, and then I had to do an energetic sideways shuffle (aka sashay, side skip, you get the idea), across the room and back. The force of the stable leg worked the adductors, and the pulling-sideways leg's abductors were working. Going back the other way does the other side. It works best if your torso is in a semi-squat pose, so grasp hands in front of your chest, chest forward, butt out, slight bend to the knees, and sideways-GO! If you're in a shorter room, just do more laps than if you're in a long room.

Also, and I'm not sure what your other routines are, if you use weight machines be careful of the leg ones. It's really easy to hyper-extend or rely on the joint instead of the muscle when using a number of the machines.

Hope that helps!

Jogging is one of the worse things you can do to relieve knee pain. If you could use and elliptical for exercise that takes the pressure off your joints. You should also try icing them after a walk or exercise. Try some Mortin as well. Good luck
