Ways to Reduce Runner's Knee Pain

Do you suffer from a condition commonly known as "Runner's Knee"? The medical term for this is Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. This pain begins when the patella bone and femur bone begin to rub against each other causing damage to the cartilage in your knees. This cartilage is vital and acts as a shock absorber. When it wears down, many people feel pain behind their knee cap. 

Symptoms include soreness behind, around, or in the center of the patella. It may feel as though your knee is "cracking" or could "give out." The pain can range from sharp, dull, sudden, or chronic. Some people find that the only time they do not feel pain is when they are running, but admit that the pain comes back afterwards.  (Click Here to Read More)

Substance P is your body’s way of communicating to you when and where you are experiencing pain.  Once you are aware of this pain, your natural instinct is to take an aspirin, acetaminophen, or NSAID, or even apply a topical product that contains high levels of menthol.  These products are designed simply to mask your pain.  They may work, but only temporarily.  The reason for this short term relief is because your body recognizes that the pain is masked and creates more communicators (Substance P) because your brain needs to get the message of pain.  This is why the first time you had a headache and took an aspirin it worked like a miracle, but as time went on you had to increase your dosage, or even upgrade to a more potent form, in order to achieve relief.  Since your body cannot dissipate Substance P naturally, it is up to you to reduce it and restore your natural pain threshold.  Applying Capsicum topically is the only scientifically proven way to achieve this!  Just a word of warning though, Capsicum is derived from chili peppers and can cause burning and severe skin irritation if used in high concentrations. - (Click Here to Read More)
