I have had knee osteoarthritis since 2006. I had physiotherapy to get the swelling down. My orthopaedic doctor advised exercises to strengthen all the muscles that support the knees. I do them daily and have been pain free. I even go trekking in the mountains. I am 75 years old.

My ortho told me (after two scopes) that this was just my life since I was 40 years old and 100 pounds over weight. I left really mad and insulted and then when I lost 80 pounds three years later and my knees felt great I knew he was right. It’s hard to hear for sure. I heard every pound of weight is four pounds of pressure on your knees.

I just happened to have a pair of Redwing hightop hiking boots that i had paid $150 20yrs ago. My feet fit a size 12 and are a Narrow A. These USA made quality boots were not only 12 but also narrow A. A day after wearing these Redwings my knee pain dropped 90%!

Best thing for my knee was your recommendation to straighten my leg to loosen the knee cap, the massaging the heck out of it. It felt amazingly better the next day, but took a few weeks of doing it to maintain the better feel. But now I only have to massage it every now and then and usually only if I do something more strenuous than normal. I know the causes are different for everyone, but it's been amazing to me that this fixed mine so easily. Thanks again!

Time after time over the years, doctors have insisted that I should use ice packs for chronic daily headaches and any kind of joint pain (back, hips, knees, etc.) but it takes my pain from miserable to practically unbearable. Only a heating pad helps!

@abradfordajb 2 года назад

From my experience, icing an area is relevant after a twist, strain or sprain, because it immediately attacks swelling resulting from the injury. Reducing swelling aids in healing. The following day, heat is the best application to the effected area.

@engineeritt2206 2 года назад

@@abradfordajb Brad thanks you guys are great. But the mechanics of doing so don't make sense. The reason why swelling happens is to accommodate enough blood supply to do the repair. Swelling goes down as repair progresses. Suppressing swelling is working against the body.

I had severe pain from oa in my right hip, and a bad limp. A rheumatologist wanted to send me for a hip replacement. Said I would definitely need one within 5 years. I told him that I had started taking glucosamine and wanted to see if it worked. Within a week, I was pain free in all normal activities, sitting, standing, walking. I could sprint to catch a bus with no pain. My limp was gone. This worked for 15 years, from 2000 to 2015. I then started to become active in sports again and my pain returned. The glucosamine was no longer effective, but I had a great run of 15 years. Then I got a hip resurfacing which preserves the hip bone. Not all brands of glucosamine are effective. A cheap $10 brand is unlikely to work. Glucosamine is a large molecule. To absorb it in the joint requires a special formulation. Not all products are well-absorbed. I used a number of different brands over this period of time. Some would work for a few years, then stop working. I switched a number of times. It's necessary to experiment.

I had pain on my left knee due to bone spurs (osteoarthritis) so bad that the only thing that really helped was going to the pool for water therapy. It was the only way that I was able to get my knee moving without feeling severe pain. I did it for one month 3-4 times a week along with some stretching and strengthening exercises I did on my own. I found that it made a huge difference and was able to manage my pain. Now I am able to do the land exercises without pain. Before having done the water therapy, my body compensated for the knee pain and caused all sorts of imbalances creating more pain in other parts of my body such as my back. So I definitely think that water therapy is crucial initially.

@mrsrhodes9736 2 года назад

What kind of exercises did you do in the pool?

@brendacosta3663 Год назад

I would do the same motion as riding the bike but in the water. I would swim across the pool on my front and then on my back. When I got tired I would just stay in one spot and keep my arms and legs moving. I also walked forwards and backwards in the pool. I would alternate doing these things for about 30 minutes and then go into hot tub and do some stretches while in the hot tub. Then I would go back into the pool and do the same thing for 30 minutes and then back to hot tub or sauna doing more stretching.

My balance has improved along with a stronger core. I also walk most days, with no pain. I would not consider a total knee replacement now, unless my joints deteriorated and surgery was the best option. The only activity that hurts is dancing and floor aerobics!

@Teleman01 2 года назад

I have osteoarthritis in both knees for the last seven years or so. I used to be about 285 pounds. I have gotten down to 230 pounds. That has helped tremendously. I did that .by cycling. I now do rides that are minimum 35 to 50 miles each time. It does NOT hurt my knees the least little bit on those rides. But if I walk a half a mile, my knees hurt. Getting orthoscopic surgery to clean out my knee did nothing. Aleve helps a little bit. Tramadol helps a little bit. I think I'm at the point where I can take the pain that I have. I'm going to try to lose more weight so I can put off knee replacement as long as I can. I just wish we were a lot further along with knee osteoarthritis treatments than we are. It just seems like everything is old technology and that nothing new is making any really good headway. But, thank God I can cycle to get exercise. Because I surely can't hike like I used to or walk long distances.

The first two are malarkey, the rest I agree with. I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I play tennis 2-3 times a week, swim laps (500m-2000m) 4-6 times a week, lift weights 3 times a week, and try to walk 10,000 steps or more a day. I also stretch daily. I ice my knees after tennis, and some workouts, and it makes a huge difference. I take glucosamine daily. With the glucosamine, I don’t notice much until I stop taking it. I have quit taking it several times and within a day or two my knees are worse. I rarely take an NSAID. Ice in my opinion is the best anti inflammatory, and recovery agent out there. By the way I am a 65 year old male, 6’4”, a lean 225lbs and I have played sports my whole life. I am not a “scientist”, but I have a wealth of personal experience rehabbing, and preventing injuries.

@mikewellwood1412 3 года назад

I'd like to put a word in for Nordic Walking, i.e. walking with 2 poles which look a little like the ones Bob showed at the end, but I think those were Trekking Poles (sometimes called Hiking Poles). Poles designed for Nordic Walking have straps that bind closely to the hand with velcro (so you can actually let go of the pole and not lose it, and letting go of the pole on the backward movement is one of the advanced techniques taught). And the rubber pads which fit to the bottom of the pole are normally shaped such that when the pole is held about 45 degrees, the bottom of the pad (known as a "paw") is flat with the ground, providing maximum traction. The pads are removable, to expose a hard metal tip which can be useful in soft ground. Nordic Walking poles can help you to take some of the weight off your knees. The idea is that after you "plant" your pole in the ground, you exert a strong downward force with the hand (the force is transmitted to the pole via the special strap which is known as a "glove") which you continue as long as you can, and expert Nordic Walkers follow through with the hand as far back as they can, finally letting go of the pole (though it is still attached via the strap). As well as hopefully helping the knees somewhat, it provides a workout to the upper body, and also improves the all-important Posture. Here is a very good "how to Nordic Walk" video, with Rick Deutsch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U7CCKJxTaY8.html And a medical perspective from Donald Silverberg: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZEN_lKsrSEc.html

Hi Bob and Brad, I'm 49 and have been dealing with right knee pain since I was 16 and thrown from a horse and landed wrong. Well I complained for years to my family doctor and she thought I was exaggerating the pain. Well 1day when I was 45 yrs old my knee finally swelled, and then took me seriously. She sent me to a orthopedic doctor and did an MRI on it with x-rays, and had it scoped, they did a latteral release with my knee cap cause it was almost worn into 2 pieces. And they cleaned up the damaged cartilage and bone spurs. I started physical therapy immediately, well at some point hurt it again. And for a year complained to the physician assistant about the pain I was in and couldn't understand why it wasn't better. Well after a year of shots in my knee. I noticed my knee made a kluncking feel when I moved it from side to side, they did another scope and my mydiscus muscle had torn and went in-between the bones in my knee. It had completely worn off the cartilage in my knee and now I have to have a knee replacement. The physician assistant lost her job over it for not listening to me the patient. So I have to wear a knee brace until my surgery date.

Of course there can be exceptions. Also maybe the exception has to do with a secondary issue, some mal-tracking or other underlying health condition. So the tape or glucosamine might help certain people. Plus "biochemical individuality" of course. As to land therapy vs water- land has the full weight, heavier gravity helps build muscle. Plus when you actually do walk it is on land. Also gravity plus muscle development may help bone mass? Maybe a factor in there somewhere?

@cinnamongirl3070 5 лет назад

Right??!! The placebo effect occurs when someone uses or does something that has not really been shown to improve that specific thing, and the body heals anyway! It's not just that someone "thinks" they feel better. Objective testing can show that they really are better! The placebo effect is awesome!!

@vivianastridge2167 4 года назад

I have been afflicted with bilateral osteopathy of the knees for about ten years. The medication prescribed was the usual and I cannot confirm or deny that it has or has not improved or worsened the condition. The situation to begin with was such that I had much pain and movement limited to about half the normal. The clinic I visited treated me with twenty minutes of what they referred to as pulsed electromagnetic knee massage every day for fifteen days and stated that I would be pain free for about three months. It is now about ten years and I have never had the pain experienced before treatment or any other sort of pain. I have found that strict adherence to the hour long daily exercise routine is absolutely obligatory to maintain almost normal mobility. I have found that if the other exercises are for some reason cannot be performed, traction just cannot be, no matter what.

@vivianastridge2167 2 года назад

Thank you Shirley Stein for your comment and request for information about exercises for knee arthritis. There is nothing special about the exercises which are the usual that any physiotherapist would suggest. There are three groups into which the exercises fall. The first group involves bending movements to increase range of motion. There are some six such. In the supine position the lower leg is bent up towards the thigh as far as possible either using just the thigh muscles or forcing the lower leg to bend using a towel wrapped around the ankle and pulling on the towel. The second exercise involves large cycling moments of both the lower leg and thigh while supine movements both forward and reverse. The third exercise is raising the lower leg vertically so that both thigh and lower leg are vertical while supine. At start both the thigh and lower leg are bent so that it is only the lower leg that is raised to be inline with the thigh which is already vertical. The fourth exercise is slow exaggerated marching movement while standing in one place the knee being raised as high as possible.The fifth is a slow squat with the back pushed out back . This is done on to a high stool or bed and support taken by a chair back to prevent falling. The sixth is a wall squat done with the back sliding against a wall and the squat limited to a very shallow squat from which it is possible to stand up straight. The second set involves muscle strengthening exercises. These include supine leg raise to thirty degree up, lower leg raise from a seated position, standing lateral leg raise, standing backward leg raise, standing total body raise from heel to toe. The third set includes three very effective traction exercises. While seated on a high stool swing lower legs with ankle weighs to one seventh of body weight on each ankle.Reduce weight if discomfort felt. Stand next to a padded seat stool with lower leg placed o horizontally on it. Place rolled up towel in between thigh and lower leg close to back of knee. Bend forward pressing down on lower leg press down up to comfort level. The final traction exercise is done lying on floor. Place stretch cord around ankle and fix other end of cord to strong fixed bed leg or other very heavy furniture leg. Move body up so the leg is stretched.You will find many excellent videos on RU-vid illustrating all these and more , The exercises involving flexing of the knee and traction are very effective and yield quick results. Not relevant to your request, but I have found wheat, oats and other grain products to be bad and most decidedly sugar in all forms. Millets of any kind are the best and have absolutely no ill effects on arthritis. Alcohol is to be limited to a maximum of two pours per day of red wine and no hard drinks and of course no smoking. All the very best to you. @@shirleystein6521

@vivianastridge2167 2 года назад

@@shirleystein6521 I am happy that you liked the information passed on to you. None of the exercises are of my making. These are the standard exercises that any physiotherapist would prescribe. If you should find that the regime is much too drawn out, you could limit your choices to just two of each type. Two of forward leg raises, two of total knee bends while supine, two of standing leg raises , three exaggerated cycling movements while supine and most important never to be missed three full knee traction exercises, If you still find the exercises to be too much then for all that is valued, do not ever miss the three knee traction exercises. Traction does provide immediate results, though these are of a temporary nature. If the three traction exercises are done with three repetitions each of 20 minutes duration per day for one month the results will last for about three to six months. Wishing you Shirley Stein the very best in all things but especially your well being and freedom from pain.

I have osteoarthritis and had a meniscus tear that was threatening to lock my knee and kept me in pain…and so I could not run and walked with a limp for almost 2 years…after much research and consultations, I had my knee scoped to remove the offending portion of the meniscus AND did (and continue to do) vigorous physio afterwards…since then (3 years ago now) I am now not limping, run 10k every 2-3 days and ride my bicycle…including several long bicycle and bikepacking tours (including a cross Canada ride). I think it’s the physio that has enabled me to continue to be active.

I had very bad knees since I was in my 30's (inherited from my grandma and arthritis). In the early 1990's, my orthopedic surgeon determined I needed arthroscopic surgery. I had bone spurs, knees were hanging up, pain on the right side of the right knee (something was torn on that side). My doctor said it would take six weeks to recover. WRONG! It rook me MONTHS to recover, and I don' feel it did me much good at all. I've since read not to have that kind of surgery. I'm now 65 and my knees act up now and then, but I take collegen, MSM, and other quality supplements, plus exercises to keep my various leg, hip, ankle muscles strong, and my knees seem better than when I was in my 30's. I haven't had any kind of knee injections or any more surgery, and I'd like to keep it that way!

As long as you stay on the crutches for the recommended time I swear by the surgery. I was warned at my age that there was the potential for the arthritis returning and sure enough this week it feels like I am getting the arthritis back. Thoughts on micro-fracturing?

I had a radial meniscus tear in my knee. After that, every couple weeks, some floating part in the meniscus would lodge a certain way and it was like a lightning bolt of pain would happen again in my knee. I did not want surgery, but the possibility of that happening while driving scared me too much. I had the orthoscopic surgery and it cleared it out, have not had one incident since and that was 20 years ago. You guys are great, but I disagree with that study from my own experience/situation.

I have been taking glucosomane/chondroitin for about 17 years. A friend recommed itsince it was the first reliefshe had ever gotten from severe back pain. I ignored her suggestion, so later she gave me a 30 day jar. After I used up that jar I did not buy another, but after 2 weeks the pain returned, so I was convinced. About a year later I added MSM upon the advice of 2 other friends. It was clear that also added to the relief. The research I have read about appears to be limited by their methods: limited time frame, limited pain range, low dose, not going month on/month off, generally no study of those who do claim relief - usually calling that a placebo effect, rather than taking a look at why it works for some people and not for others. My hypothesis: it works for some people and not others for reasons yet to be understood.

He had taken additional training at Harvard on Japanese acupuncture. I think the combination of both his experience as a physician and additional training plus he did three treatments instead of one each time I saw him. I was in bed all the time and could started working part time after seeing him. He did retire for good after about 4 years though and every time it's going to rain I sure wish I could see him! Acupuncture really works for arthritis. Both of my parents started going to him just for arthritis in their knees. I've actually had Chinese treatments (before the Japanese) and they both helped.
