What is name of medical condition causing hip and knee pain? A physiotherapist has diagnosed a condition that I have, but has not told me a name for the condition. Does anyone know?

The shortening of my thigh muscles pulls my hip and knee joints out of alignment, causing pain in my hip and knee joints. There is no cure for this condition apart from physiotherapy exercises and pain management, but there has got to be a proper medical term for it with more details on the web.

What are some ways to alleviate chronic knee pain? My boyfriend recently injured his knees by overexerting them during a bike marathon he didn't train well enough for. He has been taking glucosamine with Chondroitin and msm, doing some different leg stretches, and icing his knees (20 mins at a time) when they hurt. He has stopped bike riding for the most part, but is very active and plays soccer once a week, and participates in the occasional football game. He knows its better to rest, but there is really no way to stop him from continuing these activities (his choice, not mine). Does anyone else have any tips for knee pain or helping his knees heal faster? Preferably to people that deal with this particular issue.

What can I do to eliminate knee pain while riding? Okay - so.. typically when I ride it's during a lesson, show, or clinic and I'm in the saddle for an hour at the very least. Lupus runs in my family and I've already got symptoms of it + rheumatoid arthritis. After riding for an extended period of time, I start to have knee pain - mostly in my right knee. I've tried jointed stirrups and ironically they caused MORE pain than they relieved. I've thought about trying the Bow Balance stirrups but I'm afraid it'll be the same thing. I have "conformational issues," as my trainer likes to put it, because I've got a 33" inseam but I'm only 5'4". This makes it hard for me to fit really nicely in a saddle without my leg looking too long (even if my stirrups are at the right level). I know I have a problem of turning my toes out when I jump, so could this be part of the reason for my knee pain? Could it be the fact that my legs are so long? Does anyone else have this same problem and if so - what have you done that has actually worked? I've had blood tests done every year for the Lupus. With the test - they're looking for I think three specific things.. if you only have two out of the three, they still name your results as "negative." My Dr. has said, "It's just a matter of time before the test comes back positive" - I don't really know how to interpret that.. I'm assuming that one of the things they look for is possibly age related. Who knows.. and Yes, I've tried ace bandages, I've tried a knee brace - it doesn't help. Ibuprofin sometimes works but I'm not a huge fan over taking stuff. My massage therapist has recommend Arnica - which I've yet to find - but otherwise I'm not on any medications other than the occasional Flexiril after a horseshow (which is when it's the worst).

How can I get my family doctor to prescribe vicodin to me for my knee pain? I have had two knee scopes and have horrible arthritis and constant knee pain.

I am too young for a knee replacement I'm being told so........

I have never had an injury to the leg or anything like that. In fact, I am not athletic at all.

How to relieve knee pain after injuring it in a squat? I have had pain in one of my knees after doing a squatting exercise a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's strained or what, but I've kind of let it be, which isn't the smartest thing to do, I know. Recently the tendonitis in my ankle has flared up and now there are two areas of the same leg that are killing me so I'm trying to find a remedy for my knee. Any help at all would be much appreciated.
