I can walk, run or do any other activity without a problem, but when I get up from sitting a while my knees ache. If I sit through a movie they hurt for a half an hour. After a day of sitting through classes they will hurt for up to a week. Why do they hurt and what can I do about it?

Answer:

If you feel pain or discomfort as a result of weather shifts: humidity,cold etc. it might be arthritic. If not, could be an inflammation of the soft tissue causing excess fluid buildup. If you are a serious runner,cut back a bit it is brutal on the knees. Take an over the counter anti-inflammatory, I find Advil is best. The prescription variety such as Celebrex, Vioxx or Bextra would of course require a visit to an orthopedist and they do have serious side effects. I also take Glucosimine - it's been a help for my pain. Good luck, feel better

You should check it with your doctor. He may have your blood examine for uric acid level , xray, up to prescribing anti-inflamatory drugs
