1. It is not enough just to exercise, but one needs to know also how to exercise. And immediately we got to the topic of importance of an expert, i.e., trainer, physiotherapist etc. A large part of prevention of injuries and pain consists of how carefully you listen to their advice. If you feel any pain during some movements, speak up, and don't be afraid to ask if some information slips your mind. If it happens a thousand times, ask a thousand times.
2. Your joints need movement for production of lubricant (synovial fluid), which plays an important role precisely in safe execution of movements. So yes, it is such mutual support. Another reason is building muscles, which provide support to knees. So let sport be a full-fledged part of your life.

3. When knee pain is already present, vigilance is paramount. Definitely listen to doctor's advice and don't forget to tell your trainer too. However, do not stop moving. Besides helping prevent pain, it can also reduce it. But choose correct type of sport, for example swimming, walking, even cycling, if it doesn't cause you significant discomfort.
4. If you live with overweight, it is possible that you know knee pain quite intimately. Joints suffer under disproportionate weight, so try to keep your body weight at a reasonable level.
5. Drink enough water and eat healthy and varied diet. Joint pain can also be triggered by dehydration and lack of vitamins and some minerals, for example calcium.
