(Knee pain)
(When did you first feel the pain?) About 2 years ago, around winter
I have usually had pains here and there when I exercise
So I thought it was not a big problem, ignored the pain, and just kept exercising
But I felt a great pian on my knee at the times of COVID-19
(How do you feel after the treatment?) Since I am receiving medical treatments, I am trying to put less pressure on my knees
Really? Did you live a life that put a lot of strain on your knee before?
I used to walk up the stairs in my daily life, but these days, I try to use an elevator
So with that lifestyles, I wasn't feeling the pain as much but once I went on a hiking
When was that?
It was the next day after the second treatment
Yes, yes
My knees weren't feeling that bad at that moment
I might have a continuous pain if it were like how it's been, but it hurt a little only when I was coming down the hill all of a sudden
I didn't feel much more pain than usual
(How was the pain before?) It suddenly hurt when I was walking
I enjoyed jogging at that time, and there were always pains when I would jog
How about these days?
I'm not jogging much these days, and sometimes, when I cross the street at a crosswalk
I rarely feel pain when I run
(Is there anything particular you are doing to yourself?) I'm doing some stretching at home
How many minutes a day?
About 20 minutes
Do you stretch?
I use those massage balls
My muscles are tight because I exercise a lot
Always?
I just press those pressure points and do nothing else
(Are you feeling much better now?) I couldn't even go up the stairs before
And I may not go hiking if I had much pain like before
Since it was a steep one
But I have been there as I thought it would be possible for me to climb at this moment
