kingtermite Posted October 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2014 Going down stairs is really bad for knees from what I have heard. VERY true. I've been warned by the orthopedic surgeon on this. He said that the compounded pressure on the knee going down stairs is something like 7X your weight. If your knee is bothering you, stop the stairs for a bit. Let it rest up and feel better or you will only hurt it worse, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted October 7, 2014 Share #4 Posted October 7, 2014 I heard that climbing up isn't so bad though. Jist down the stairs can cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted October 7, 2014 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2014 Maybe I should give in and do drugs Oh and stop taking the stairs for a couple of days Would the taking of drugs and the knee pain have to be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted October 8, 2014 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2014 I heard that climbing up isn't so bad though. Jist down the stairs can cause issues. I can fully bear witness to that. My fricken knees kill when going downstairs....no issues whatsoever going up. So...I guess this means I'm not going to hell...no matter what people say.

Longjohn ★ Posted October 8, 2014 Share #7 Posted October 8, 2014 Try going down the stairs on your butt. I have heard of people with knee problems doing that. Going down stairs on crutches when you really can't use one of your legs is scary. Not so bad if there is a railing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted October 8, 2014 Who the heck has crutches....and public stairs on your butt...no if it was in a house no problem. My knee actually hurts more going UP...strange I know...It has done this before...but usually doesn't last more than 1 or 2 days... Oh well...this too shall pass.
