Arthtitis in knees



Recommended Posts

What do you do for exercise if your knees hurt? It really hurts to walk!

I go through the same pain 24-7! Hoping losing weight will help! Swimming & Biking are what I plan to pursue! Up until 2007 I was walking 5-10 miles a day then broke both legs, gained 100 lbs and been in pain since! My drs want to total replace both knees !

Hi slkesler. I have constant pain and even with all the weight loss, am still in need of not just knee replacement, but hips as well due to an auto-immune issue. The only exercise I can do is in the pool for obvious reasons. I swim, or if I can't swim, I dog paddle. I also do strengthening exercises. Not to lose weight but to get my legs stronger for the upcoming surgeries. Good luck, I so understand and feel your pain.

I'm due for two total knee replacements(TKR). I bike about 250 miles a month. I usually ride 5 days a week putting in 10 miles each day for 3 days and shoot for 30 miles a day on weekends. It's the only real exercise I can do.

Most likely the best thing to do is Water exercise that way there is no strain on your joint.

I too suffer 24/7. I exercise in the pool. Some days I would walk but all during my journey, I was in the Water.< /p>

I have rheumatoid arthritis and find the elliptical machine at the gym is the easiest on my joints for sure! Especially my knees.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
