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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
