Straightening your LegsIf you spend a lot of time sitting down, you could be bending or twisting your legs into unnatural positions, which can lead to pain in your knees. Try keeping your legs as straight as possible while sitting. If you can, rest your feet on a coffee table or footstool, to keep your legs straight and your knees aligned.
Icing your KneesApplying ice to the affected areas may help to dull the pain. Ice cools the damaged tissue, therefore reducing inflammation and swelling. Apply ice to your sore knees for 10-20 minutes at a time. Do this 3 or 4 times per day. You can use an ice pack, frozen gel pack, or a bag of frozen peas. You may want to put a towel between the ice and your knee, to protect your skin. Don’t exceed the 20 minute time limit, or you may cause further damage to your knees. A popular treatment for pain is the R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) method. To use the R.I.C.E. method, firstly, rest your knees. If the injury occurred while playing sports or lifting weights, for example, take a break from that particular activity. Secondly, ice the area regularly. To compress the injured knee, wrap it in a bandage after icing, to limit swelling. Finally, elevate your legs by resting them on a table, armrest, etc.

Different braces, straps, sleeves and bandages can provide various benefits, such as supporting the knee, stabilizing the joint, improving circulation and lessening pressure on the knee’s cartilage and tendons.
