Do you run or stretch often desu?

Try foam rolling using a rumble roller pvc pipe or lacrosse ball. I had serious knee pain turned out just an extremely tight vmo almost passed out rolling out the knot

Also look into doing a stretching routine

I'd recommend joining an Olympic or power lifting gym with good coaches to learn lifts and to watch your form

If you can afford it go to a physio

You do all these things you'll be pain free and flexible if not youll be like every gym eat bro with knee back and shoulder pain

I have an exercise bike that I usually ride every morning for 30 minutes or so immediately after waking up, but I haven't ridden it since my knees have been this bad. As for stretching, no.

Thanks man. I'll look into all that.

meniscus injury?

are you running or sport with running?
hiking, rucking, skiing?
squat or variations or legpress?

if you have 0 exercise and are sedentary and fat thats a problem, if you didn't say what type of exercise you currently do what kind of advice did you think you would get with key info missing..

There's your problem anon, stretch your hip flexers quads and IB bands

foam roller is great IN ADDITION to the other stretching for hipflexors and fixing anterior pelvic tilt.
myofascial release, like a cheaper less intense deep tissue massage, increases mobility

Another anon already told OP to do that but yeah absolutely, foam roller is a must even if you're just casually biking/running.

I cant imagine any serious knee damage being done with 30 mins of biking probably very tight muscles and some imbalnces

If you don't stretch or roll your muscles will get tight as fuck, even a light mileage can fuck you up desu.

>>Mom is 52 and in physical therapy for her hips and knees.

Glucosamine sulphate everyday rest of your life. So gradual you wont feel the benefit until you stop taking it. Might see the real advantage in your 40-50s when you've had a 20-30 year head start.

i never stretched or foamrolled until i was late 20s, and a bout of inactivity had me all fucked up trying to get back into sport.
but i am super inflexible so should have started earlier

>>42205199
ive had problems with loose feeling joints as well. ive had success with doing stuff like just body weight squats and other easy exercises but making sure everything is moving correctly and aligned. making sure hips are straight, knees are moving the same way ect

Not stretching is a pretty good way to injure yourself desu, I do 15 minutes of flexibility a day and it makes a big difference.
