Is Knee Pain After Prayer Normal? Or a Warning of Cartilage Wear?

305

The real question: "I perform the five daily prayers, and after Fajr I feel sharp pain in the front of my knee. Is this normal with age?"

The answer: Not normal — but very common in Dubai due to sitting on hard prayer mats + Vitamin D deficiency.

3 Possible Causes

  • Patellar tendinitis (Jumper's Knee)
  • Early knee osteoarthritis (cartilage wear)
  • Foot alignment issues (Flat Feet)

SehaSave advice: The first 3 months from symptom onset are the best window for non-surgical treatment.
