Treating knee pain

Do you suffer from knee problems? I do, and it's kept me from being an avid runner, despite my best attempts to just 'get over it.' But knee pain doesn't have to be a way of life; here are some ways to treat it, according to Everyday Health:

• Low-impact exercises can strengthen the knee muscles without pain. For instance? Try swimming, cycling or working out on the elliptical trainer.
  
• Pain reducing and anti-inflammatory meds can be injected directly into the joint
• If it's arthritis, anti-rheumatic drugs can make a difference.
  

If you're suffering from chronic knee pain, talk to your doctor about treatment options.
