Does anyone get knee pain when kneeling down?

[josben]

I've been getting it for a few months and its a sharp pain,does anyone else suffer with this and what treatment have you had?

I used to get this, but haven't noticed it lately. Didn't do anything about it, just assumed it was wear and tear that would get better by itself. The pain wasn't too bad in my case, but as you say it was quite sharp.

Chiropractor and podiatrist (needed orthotic innersoles). The problem was actually my back, but manifesting itself in my knees if that makes sense. I used to not be able to kneel down coz it was agony and couldn't take the weight on my knees when I tried to stand back up again.

Thanks for your repsonses, Carrieon - what treatment did you have ?

I started off at a chiropodist as I also had pain in my feet and didn't know who to go to. They spotted that I have bow legs so sent me to a podiatrist they knew, who did a full examination and fitted me for orthotics which were made to measure and have to be worn inside my shoes. These compensates for my knees not quite facing forwards and helps my back by making me stand in the right position by angling my feet better. He then sent me to a chiropractor to sort out my back (mmmm, big rugby player's hands...) who 'clicks' me every 3-6 months which I love. I'm not a fan of physio, I can't feel anything being done, but the chiropractor gives me a lovely massage then twists me in a certain way to 'click' me and afterwards I feel like a ragdoll and all the tension has gone and I'm a new woman again! Unfortunately all of this was under private care.
There are orthotics you can buy off the shelf in Boots for about £20 (you can read on the back of the packet what conditions they are designed to treat), and sorbothane inner soles (usually from shops like Blacks or other outdoorsy places) can be excellent in your shoes as they act as shock absorbers so your knees aren't taking as much strain. I only have those in my walking boots, but they are suitable for other shoes.
Hope that helps, sorry for being a waffler!
