How Can Severe Knee Pain Be Treated?
Whenever I hike, if there is a substantial down-hill section (2 miles or more), I get agonizing knee pain that lasts for several hours. I m considering a knee-brace. If that s a good solution, what style should I get. Also, is there any recommended treatment (drug or physical) that would be a good or better alternative?
