Have you ever spent a couple of hours in rush hour traffic and when you finally reach your destination, you can't get out of the car because of knee joint pain? This can be a humiliating experience if you have an audience when you finally do get out of the car and try to walk. Typically, within a little while you can walk it off, but wouldn't it be nice if this didn't happen at all?
As we age our bodies don't produce enough of the substances we need to keep our bones and joints functioning as they did when we were younger. This gives us knee joint pain as well as other types of pain. Our joints become stiff and don't work well. There are things we can do to fix this problem. First of all you should start taking a supplement that helps replace the things your body now lacks. There are a number of joint supplements that contain glucosamine compounds, chondroitin sulfate and MSM. These are the primary things that your joints are lacking and by replacing these you will stop experiencing the pain you have become accustomed to recently.
After you have allowed the supplement to work(it may take a few weeks to get the full effect) you need to increase your activity. Regular exercise of some kind will help you keep knee joint pain and many other types of pain away. Start out by taking a 45 minute walk 4 times a week. You will likely find that you enjoy it so much you will want to start doing it every day. Regular exercise will help keep your joints more flexible and will prevent the Knee joint pain and other joint pain from returning. Exercise will also make you feel better just in general.
