One day in 2009 I woke up trying to get out of the bed in the early morning, I got a sharp stabbing pain at the right knee as I walked just a few steps away from my bed. The pain was crippling painful that I could hardly walk further to the ensuite washroom. It was the first crippling pain attack I ever experienced. What was the cause for this acute knee pain? I tried to recall my memories figuring out what would be the possible cause. The only thing I could associate the knee pain with was the anger outburst which led to restlessness during the day and the sleepless night that followed through.
I checked it out in the internet and found that anger outburst is an extremely emotional disturbance of the mind. It can lead to abnormally large of amount of bio-active substances into the blood vessels of our own body. This sudden release of large of amount bio-stimulant substances can be very harmful to the body tissues and organs, even fatal irreversible organ damages. For this very reason, there are incidences of heart attack, stroke and even death following an anger outburst.
I went to see my family doctor for his medical advice and prescription. I told him briefly about my anger incident and knee pain. Then he told me the following treatment options for my knee pain:
Over-the-counter and prescription medications
This would include Tylenol and Aspirin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. They can reduce inflammation as well as knee joint pain.
Natural supplements
They are chondroitin and glucosamine the most popular alternatives in recent years. They have less side effects. The former aids in building joint cartilage, while the latter fights against degeneration of cartilage. Studies have proven their effectiveness in alleviating osteoarthritic joint pain,
Physical aids
Padding, crutches, and splints, and even simple rest can take the pressure off the knee and provide temporary relief while the joint recovers from injury.
Specific exercises
Simple stretching and low-impact aerobic activities such as walking and swimming increase joint strength and flexibility.
Now, my knee pain is almost gone. I still keep on taking chondroitin and glucosamine and low-impact exercise. The most important of all, I always remind myself don't get angry for the good of our own body.
