Kneecap pain?


Question:
I'm a (House) Painter and recently i've been having problems with my Kneecaps. There in a lot of pain after work because i have to spend a good amount of time painting on my knees. What are some thing that i can do to ease the pain?

Answers:
I lost my right knee and 4 inches of bone below the knee, after surgery I still hurt something awful. Go to the drugstore and buy the knee icy/hot pads which u will put on both knees and then insert the pack and wear your clothes, lasts for 10 hours. Your pain will stop, unless u have damaged the knee or tendons.
Try a soft, cushy knee pads, or a thick kneeling pad.

Perhaps sitting on a stool/chair while painting may help.

Before you begin each day, try a large dose of ibuprofen or other NSAID (but NOT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!) .

Good luck!
Get some very thick knee pads. Soak in a hot tub of water when you get home and make sure your knees are under the water for at least 15 minutes.
