I'm 19 years old and my knees and legs bother me constantly. When it gets cold outside, i feel as if the veins in my legs are going to burst. My knees are constantly cracking everytime i bend down. My two other sisters are dealing with the same thing and my mom has severe spider veins. It's probably genetic. Is there any way I could maybe reverse the clicking and aching before it gets worse? HELP!

Poor circulation causes this type of pain. I recommend you take a hot bath every night with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts to help relieve the pain and increase circulation.
Fish oil capsules are very good for the Knee problem, take two capsules three times daily with food.
Walk as much as possible without causing too much pain to help with this circulation. Swimming is the best exercise because it places no stress on the joints. If you can do this every day that would really help your circulation and strength.
Ginger is excellent for increasing circulation, try it in tea, adding to food or in capsules.
I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously And it helps with muscular pain .
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. .
