Answer 1

Knee problems need to be address by first a diagnosis. It could be many things from a tumor to Arthritis and you do not mess with knee problems, as the future could be wheelchair user. Once you have a diagnosis, a simple x-ray will rule out several problems, then you can start looking for treatments, however diagnosis first.

I'm going to give McGraw Hill the benefit of the doubt, that her suggestion of 4 x 200mg of Motrin was a typo. Prescription ibuprofen is 600 mg per dose, not 800. Yes, see a doctor! That kind of pain is not a thing to ignore! Do your knees hurt with both kinds of saddle? My knees often suffer when riding a western saddle if the stirrups aren't turned correctly, and an English saddle if the stirrups are too short *for my preference*. Yes, I prefer a longer stirrup than is *correct*, especially compared to a jumping stirrup length. For the western, soak the stirrup leathers and dampen the backside of the fenders (don't soak them because the wet place will leave a mark on the front side), then turn the stirrups and hold them in place until they dry. It's best to do this around a barrel or something that will push against the stirrup to force the leathers to bend sharply. Just hanging on a sawhorse won't be as effective, but it will help some. If the saddle has users with different leg lengths, it's best to oil and soften the leathers where they go over the tree, then you can move that end instead of moving the carefully shaped stirrup end and losing that shaping. I've found that the horse liniment called Thermoflex Gel is great for painful joints and stiff muscles - but I'm more than 3 times your age! You should not be suffering this way at age 14, and it might be doing damage that will cause you even worse pain as you age. Please see a doctor or sports therapist about this! You can also work on your horse's "need" for "lots of leg". A well-trained horse should respond to light cues from legs and reins. If you can't get the help of a trainer to lighten your horse's responses, get some mild spurs to reduce the amount of pressure you need to apply. Your mom should not be letting you refuse medical attention. It's the job of parents to make sure kids are safe and healthy and not injuring themselves.

Have you ever taken him to see a Chinese traditional doctor?
or I think Chinese exercise could help.
