Knee pain in 30s?

[8MoreReps]

Started getting knee pain in both knees as I entered my mid-30s. I stopped lifting at the gym since the gay covid shutdowns and only do home workouts with bodyweight and some poverty 25 lb dbs. But what can I do about this knee pain? I seem too young for this. I don"t really notice it unless I do some activity where I am running or jumping, but it lasts for a few days. It's especially noticeable when going up or down stairs. I used to squat at the gym, but I don't think I went past like 250lbs for reps.

Goto a Orthopedic Surgeon who specialises in Knees, get scans/MRI and get surgery to fix them up (if needed, normally cartilage related). Otherwise GTFO misc and stop complaining.

Not complaining, trying to see if this is a common problem that can be fixed without going to the doctors. I only go there if I''m dying.

You're old now, we need to actually focus on stretching and mobility more than before. Warming up correctly also goes a long way

Depends where the pain is. Is it actually deep in the joint when taking off or landing or just residual soreness after performing plyo movements?

Also, if it isn't affecting day to day movement it likely isn't anything serious, just lack of tissue integrity. You also might be getting some cartilage degeneration which means if you work on strength it will help a lot.

did you just start getting knee pain randomly? did you do certain activities you've never really done before before you started getting it? Maybe something with your home workouts. Could also be that muscles that help support the knee (i.e: hamstrings) have weakened from being off the gym and now it's rearing its ugly head.

see a sports PT or somebody that specializes in knee pain. outside of arthiritis or other condition, you can probably strengthen your knees with some exercises.

Probably a hinderance while running, but compression sleeves for the knees are a LIFESAVER in the gym when it comes to lifts. I legit can't fathom doing squats without them.

Any sleeves you can recommend?

I bought the crucial compression knee sleeves (one size fits all) and have zero complaints

This is terrible advice lmao. OP is 30... he doesn't need surgery

If I were you OP I would try some physical therapy. Im a PT and im willing to bet that your hips are weak and targeting those with strengthening exercises will help take a considerable amount of pressure off your knees. Hard to tell because there can be several factors at play but Id bet thats playing a large role.
