Just curious how Lipo is supposed to treat artheritis? Can't walk? Water aerobics lets you exercise without stress to your joints. Good luck

hi..lipo will not treat arthritis...but i have huge thighs..and that weight was bad for my knees....even if i go for a knee transplant...that weight will be a problem....now hopefully with lighter legs i will walk better. i live in india....we dont have warm pools and no pools for elderly or disabled...

I wish you the best. We all have our own journeys to take. I hope your arthritis pain is soon a thing of the past and that you are able to participate in some sort of exercise that is helpful and enjoyable. India is a beautiful country (one of my favorite places to visit!); I can see how it would impact the choices you have available to you. Best wishes.

There are exercises that can be done from a chair and are very effective. Please research them or find a recreational therapist. I have seen 90+ year old women who couldn't put on their shoes be able to slide on pantyhose and walk without walkers after doing this program. Best of luck to you!
