3 Tips for Knee Cartilage Problems- How to Fix Without Surgery + Giveaway!

[@mayamaker8841]

I was diagnosed with Osterarthritis of the knees when I was 60 years. I went through physiotherapy to reduce the pain and inflamation. Was advised to do a whole set of floor, standing and sitting exercises daily. I was disciplined and followed the advice. Here I am at 74 years, still exercising - began trekking in the mountains about five years ago and continue to do so. Most people I know did not bother to follow the advice and have all had their knees replaced. Their activity is now restricted. Exercise and keeping my weight under control is a priority for me.

[@CalmVibesVee]

PT WORKS but must be practiced for life! Many are not willing. To me it’s worth it ! Why would I want to feel worse?

[@joannnorelius8459]

Thank you. Your inspiring! They want me to have knee replacement and I’m apprehensive

[@cacoca79]

i have partial tear to my acl and some cartlidge damage that doesnt require surgery, is it safe to do squats?

[@passing4human598]

Absolutely love you guys. You've fixed my shoulder pain in lockdown, when I can't see a professional in real life (pinched nerve. Before watching you I thought it was just muscular) and now this for my partner's knee cartilage problems. Hello and a big thank you from Scotland. Stay safe and well.

Amazing guys. Saved my life. I am feeling awesome now after 15 days doing these. While each Dr was suggesting surgery is only solution

You guys are great, just came from the orthopedic surgeon, listening to you I changed my mind about knee surgery, thank you.

[@lovinggraceendtimes5153]

How are you feeling now

[@hoboonwheels9289]

I tore miniscus about 10 years ago on a treadmill, when it started locking up I rode a bike instead of walking and it got a lot better. Hiking sticks are cooler than a cane or walker. I never got surgery and was glad as I recently heard they just remove the cartilage. I also do static pedals (the tension does work) and tailgate swing. A glider stool would work too, I have one of those.

[@pC-zd4qj]

You two!!! I'm so thankful to have found you! I am implementing what I am learning and SO much less pain now in my back! Thank you so much!

[@gnohn9366]

I had 2 meniscus tears plus arthritis. My knee was catching badly at times, with swelling and loss of range of motion.I tried everything. Professional PT, rest, ice, anti inflammatories, cortisone shots. Dr. was somewhat reluctant to do surgery due to my arthritis. Said it may not help. I had my knee scoped and it has been a major improvement. Not perfect, but my rom is 100% and I can walk virtually pain free. Don’t know how long it will last, but my quality of life is way better.

[@William14094]

What did they do during the scope?

[@hoboonwheels9289]

I found a bike helped my knee after tear.

[@dolcevita713]

Did you fall on the treadmill? How did you tear your meniscus?

[@pC-zd4qj]

I tore my meniscus a few years ago and orthopedic said it was a horizontal tear and not good to do surgery or it could force me into a total knee replacement later. I didn't have the surgery and am doing fine, over time, as if it never happened!

My knee was not locking at all. I had 2 large tears, one a flap tear. I worked on it for 8 months and went to pt for 4 weeks. Still has the surgery because it got to the point that I could almost not walk. Sometimes surgery is best without the locking.

[@William14094]

Agreed. Not sure what these PT guys are talking about.

[@Lanny2010]

My knee doctor said I need scoping on both knees because I have tore cartilages. The problem with the cartilages is that they don't get blood and don't grow back. How can your suggested techniques help me? Can I get away without surgery? I already had a scope down 5 years ago on one of my knees because it was locking. Now both my knees are not locking. They just hurt when I play soccer.

[@xandermoyle]

I have torn cartilage in both knees. I am now 62. Never had surgery. I had a knee locking in right knee. One day playing basket ball, I jumped and came down hard on the joint. The cartilage tore again into smaller piece. I could lock the knee again. Torn section moved to the front of knee to the left side of the knee cap. The piece of cartilage was no longer in the joint. Over two year the body absorbed it and it is now gone. I was 20. At 62, perhaps once a year I forget when I squat I need to be careful about how I get up, the cartilage in the left knee moves front to back. giving me some discomfort behind the knee cap and other times behind the knee, preventing me from locking the knee. It takes about three day for my knee to recover. It is the inflammation the creates pain, but it is the inflammation that expanse the joint and allows the cartilage to slide back into proper place. Usually this happens while I sleep. Some how if you can move the cartilage so it will not obstruct the knee mobility would work for you. Perhaps a form of traction might work as well. Once the cartilage is moved into the proper place, strengthen knee with cycling or something like. I have been cycling for years. I am not an export, just an old guy trying to keep my mobility and avoid pain.

[@Lanny2010]

[@browneboss8220]

[@dsmith6601]

Bob and Brad, at the beginning when you were talking about having surgery, were you talking about just the removal of the meniscus or a complete knee replacement? I tore the meniscus in both legs two years ago. One did heal , but the other bothers me daily. The doctor says not to remove the meniscus, that they rarely do that anymore, but instead have a knee replacement.I am not sure that that is the answer since friends have told me that after their knee replacement they’re about in the same place I am right now. Wondering what you were referring to. Thank you

[@AdityaGupta-xq3kr]

How's your knee now ?

[@ineedhoez]

Depends on your age. Knee replacement lasts about 20 years. Redo-ing it lasts another 5 to 8. 3 to 5 after that. Each redo increases complications and risks of pain.

[@ambermarie8885]

I am 32 years old and was told I have full thickness loss of the trochlear cartilage within the trough, absent cartilage on the lateral apex of the patella, and bone marrow edema on the medial femoral condyle. I'm being told I will need a full knee replacement but I'm too young for it. Where should I start? I cannot do a leg lift from a sitting position 😫

[@deepakimasti2911]

What treatment u took

[@yelahm4084]

What if you have NO cartilage left?

[@PacificCircle1]

My pain is recent and has always been short lived episodes. After 2 weeks of taking it easy , the pain is much reduced and episodes are a bit less common. At an early stage of the problems, while being slim and very active, I do not want surgery.
