Improving blood circulation is essential to reduce knee pain and relieve numbness in the legs. People who sit or work for long periods of time are more likely to have blood pooling in their veins.
Practicing ankle pumps and light leg stretching can help energize the nerves and muscles. Practicing such simple exercises along with medication can help maintain joint health for a long time.
The simplest ways to help reduce joint pain and relieve numbness are as follows:
Ankle Pumps: * You can do this exercise while lying down or sitting in a chair.
Slowly move your legs up and down without bending them at the knees.
This stimulates the muscles in the legs and increases blood flow to the heart. Do this 20 times a day.
Knee Extension: * Sit in a chair with your spine straight.
Slowly raise each leg forward and hold it straight.
Hold for 5 seconds and then slowly lower it.
This will strengthen the muscles around the knee and reduce pain due to wear and tear.
