Question

I’ve had knee pain that makes it hard to bend for two weeks now. The pain is particularly severe when I wake up in the morning, but it gets better by noon.

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your symptoms could be related to arthritis. Treating arthritis can involve heat therapy, acupuncture, and massage to help alleviate pain and symptoms. Moreover, it’s important to maintain warmth and get enough rest. For pediatric orthopedic conditions, in addition to symptomatic treatment, daily care is also very important. It’s recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits and supplement with calcium to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
