Knees And Pains

[Guest gupt sengh]

when sittin in gurdwara, or anywhere else with legs crossed, i get pains in knees and back after a while.... apart from a knee and back transplant which is suggested to me by some people are their any other solutions to get rid of pains.

thanks

Exercising will help build the joints, take up some weight training. Also, contrary to what the popular opinion is out there these days, running is not bad for your knees. Just don't run on pavement and don't over do it.

I get a 'dead' leg. Asked about it here and sangat advised to use a cushion to position yourself higher than your legs. It does help with any aches and pains too.

Also would recommend stretching. There's a reason why yoga was invented.

jaap sahib helps with this kind of stuff.

lol, transplants - is it that bad.

go to your doctor, tell him you need to see a physio, you'll go to nhs physio - will help A LOT.

slow knee bending excersizes, certain amount of reps daily, maybe 15 (trust me if they're that weak) massage like deep freeze for back, regularly. STRETCHES as well.

depends WHERE your knees hurt as well, back, front or sides. most likely front and inside.

practice sitting, until it just starts hurting then get up. next time you should go a little longer, until you get used to more time sitting down.

oh yeah, and while practicing sitting cross legged, simran/kirtan really helps to go a bit longer without noticing.

focus yourself in not wasting your seed as this is linked to knee pain and back pain. if you dont stop your hair will fall out as well.

They say get a transplant as a joke , I don't actually need one tho lol. Thanks for advice, but I can't b asked to go gurdwara anymore... that shud solve the solution once and for al since I won't ever have to sit down

[Guest gupt sengh]

thanks for the advice, but i have decided that the only solution is to stop sitting in cross legged position so i am now giving up going to the gurdwara... thank u sangat jio

Fair enough, but don't forget to do sangat of gurmukhs. You can't sit on the floor, invite gursikhs at your house, have discussions about gurmat with them.
