Dr. NS, knee pain while skiing.

After about 30-45 minutes of skiing, both my knees, especially my right, begin to hurt a ton. The pain is at about the top of my shinbone, lower knee area, and hurts the most when I put pressure on it, then release the pressure, or lift my leg up. I could barely walk off the mountain today, shit sucks. I get it occasionally running and nordic skiing, but downhill is the worst, If anyone has had something similar, or knows someone who did and has advice, I would be much obliged.

Thank you

i occasionally get awful knee pain throughout the day during walking running or anything involving pressure on them, it used to happen almost every day then my doctor told me to take advil once a day in the morning and after doing that for a couple weeks my knees have been fine and whenever they start up again i take advil till it goes away

You might have a wandering platella(sp) I know a kid who had that and it caused him some pretty bad knee pain. The trainer recommended doing quad exercises so those might be worth a shot.

I have been doing "action" sports... I hate that term... Since I was 4. I started with surfing then started skating at 10 then moved to snowboarding when I waived to Colorado. My knees are already piles of poop I wake up every morning with excruciating pain. The doc says the cartilage is worn and everything is just worn so I take pks when I need them usually pop one the morning before I Go on the mountain. If idont my knees just kill me. But if I do I Don't feel a thing while riding but that night I usually tape some ice bags to them and take another pk. It's shitty but I make do. One day I will probably need surgery so that's a bummer but until them I'm going to continue to abuse my knees

My knees ache after long, riding but never too bad. Once in a while my left will throb. I imagine my meniscus is well worn from years of wakeboarding and skiing, and surgery for that is best left late as possible as the cartilage won't grow back in. They just clean it up a bunch. They can fix anything these days
