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 pray GOD Heals You !!!!

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.

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