Question : When he does sit ups, his knees make sound and he complains of pain in doing so
Brief Answer:
Can be decreased joint lubricants.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The making of sound by the knee joint on bending with mild pain is suggestive of decrease in joint lubricants or mild capsulitis.
The treatment options include pain killers, hot fomentation, lubricating agents like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin , dycerin, etc and some life style modifications and physiotherapy.
Right now he can start taking Tablet Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) Double Strength after breakfast and after dinner. It is suggested to add calcium supplements 500mg each twice daily. This will take care of your mild symptoms in 3-5 days.
You can start with walking and aerobic fitness exercises, quadriceps strengthening, patellar tapping, lateral heel wedges, etc- under the guidance of your physiotherapist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
