Knee Pain
It is important to always use the proper postures for certain actions such as for sitting, lifting heavy objects, sleeping, and even just standing. Pain in the knees can often be related to improper posture for such things; especially lifting heavy objects, which could cause problems for your legs, knees, back, and neck if it is done incorrectly.

Best Treatments for Knee Pain
There are several ways to maintain and reduce knee pain; the best way is to rest you knee (specifically elevated). Use an Ice pack to reduce pain (this also reduces swelling if there is any). You can also compress your knee with an elastic bandage (this also helps with pain and swelling) and avoid putting stress on your knee. If pain persists or you feel your knee pain is a symptom for something worse, contact Pegasus Pain Management to find the treatment that is right for you.

Several Illnesses Related to Knee Pain
Arthritis
When the cartilage in the joint starts to fade away due to overuse of the joint (This normally means it fades over time, but it can also mean that it is overused through intense activities such as sports.)
Symptoms of Arthritis: Joint stiffness, sharp joint pain, or swelling near a joint.

Torn ACL
One of the most popular injuries in sports is a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament); this is the tough strip behind your knee that connects the thigh bone to the shin bone. It can be torn by stretching too far or by being worn down. This is an urgent medical issue, so if you believe you have torn your ACL contact Pegasus Pain Management before the injury becomes long term.
Symptoms of a Torn ACL: swelling, stiffness, extreme pain, and instability
