If you are looking for an exercise routine that can improve you hip or knee arthritis pain, here is a a video of exercises you can do in bed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHfakGlvrtF-mM0

[@123mst456]

Thanks for this suggestion too. My left knee has started acting funny. I will dtart with these exercises.

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

Brad, was your mother considered bone on bone?

[@missymuss349]

I watched your post on meniscus tear without surgery.. you said "rest it or it will become chronic" ...I did weights for 3 months and rested the knee, I now walk a little more than a mile a day, completely pain free. I know what I should/shouldn't do with the knee. Bless you both. You saved me and my knee.

[@BobandBrad]

So happy we could help and especially happy to hear you are doing better!

[@CynthiaAva]

Weights for 3 months does not sound like resting the knee. Can you explain what you did to fix it?

[@missymuss349]

​@@CynthiaAvaso sorry I wasn't specific. About 10 years ago had meniscus tear, painful, could hardly walk, got two corticosteroid shots at the same time in each side of the knee.. healed over two months was able to walk perfectly. Then a couple of years ago did a deep squat exercise reinjured the knee and limped, but continued to attempt power walking... After Bob and Brad mentioned complete rest I stopped any attempt at power walking, walked slowly with knee brace if I had to move at all and did weights for the upper body, crunches, slow stationary bike. Did this for three months. Then started back with slow, very short walks, progressing based on knee toleration. Now back to my normal, no pain, no brace. To maintain I now do treadmill with incline or 2 mile walk in park or some lower body machines at the gym.

[@123mst456]

Thank you so.much Bob and Brad. I have taken the PRP for my sciatic problems in the L4-L5 region. That together with a controlled weight loss, strengthening exercises and yoga has kept me pain free for the last 5 years.

I had a cortisone injections every 9 months in my knee for 8 years and they were brilliant, which is why I needed them so rarely. Then one day they just stopped making a difference and I am scheduled for a knee replacement in a few months. I can’t recommend them highly enough, they enable me to walk without pain and bought me 8 more years before surgery.

[@lisalaunius7389]

Had a cortisone injection in December. It kicked in within hours but was gone in about 10 days. And long term they can cause more degeneration. I'll keep doing my PT till I have to have my partial replacement

[@narutokun9127]

Same here exactly the same

[@sally8704]

Unfortunately, it can be hit or miss with cortisone injections. I’ve had multiple and had a different experience with each one .

[@BobandBrad]

Sorry to hear this!! Everyone's bodies are different and react to certain things accordingly. Sorry it didn't help you! Yes, stick with the PT!

I just had the new “super PRP” injection this last Tuesday. I have to see how it works out. It seems to be working better than the regular 3 shots I had before of regular PRP. The super PRP is one injection as opposed to the three regular PRP. My knee feels so much better. Worth the $2,000

[@BobandBrad]

Glad to hear it helped, especially since it's costly!

[@californiadreaming567]

@@BobandBrad I have end stage arthritis but I am not a candidate for knee replacement at this time. The first time I got PRP I didn't notice that much difference. Three shots one week a part. However, this time with the super shot my knee is loving it and I am walking so much better. It's only been one week but I am now able to do my knee rehab. May not be for everyone but I had been thinking of getting an electric wheelchair before I got the shot.

[@marizalk]

@@californiadreaming567 Hi there, my mother in law is being told she needs a TSR (total shoulder replacesment) of course insurance covers it and Dr is happy with that..a win win for both of them...BUT not my mother in law who will have a long recovery and still will never be the same again;(. Im trying to persuade her with PRP and/or stem cell or BMAC (bone marrow). QUESTION: what is the SUPER prp shot as opposed to regular PRP shot??? never heard of that one. Thanks!

I had a friend here in her 80s that just had a shoulder replacement and is doing great. 6 weeks recovery and now she has so mcuh movement and is very happy about it. Super PRP is I believe double or triple the same medication in one shot. Regulare PRP given one shot per week for three weeks did not do very much for me however the super shot did. However, my bad knee that Kaiser refuses to replace has gotten worse. My other knee with arthrisis is doing great. Not sure that they do super shots on shoulders.@@marizalk

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!

[@slomo1716]

VERY CLEAR!! Thank you B&B!!! Exactly what I needed to know. I was at my rheumatologists office, asking is there anything to help regrow cartilage, he quickly said NO, before I could get my question out. Then I suggested why isn't there some type of GEL to shoot into the joints where cartilage is disappearing. If I remember correctly, I was told we're not there yet. Instead, finally gave me referrals for PT and an Ortho to pursue. I went one time to the PT, she was WONDERFUL, but too expensive, because she's not in "network". But gave me some exercises to do, which are identical to your videos. I have great days able to move with less pain, and I can actually bring my knee to my chest now with much less pain. I asked for shots in the knee, but was recommended to try PT first. GOD BLESS YOU BOYS - YOU'RE BOTH GREAT!

I Tried stem cell transfer from my own body. Had plenty of cells, millions & millions, close to 100mil with no success. Tried 4 PRPs over a year with little help. Tried A2M (Alpha 2 Macrogloblin)centerfuse system with great results; 2 years pain free and 2 more years of slight pain. If I had paid for the 2md one I would have continued doing better. But opt out of thousands $$. Insurance and Medicare should be paying for most of A2M injections as it is way more affective than PRPs. It is said to heal arthritis therefore relieving pain! I don’t know of negative effects. It is a cheaper wsy to go for insurance companies but might put surgeons out of all the business!! And they don’t want to do that! Medicine, sadly, is about money. It’s sad we don’t hear about the A2M option, isn’t it?

If cortisone helped in the long run. It was definitely not a serious injury. Because cortisone weakends cartilage, ligaments tendons and bones. Although it gives temporary pain relief

Great video. I have problems in my spine. L4&5 & S1. Just had injections 2 weeks ago. Steroids. Not helping pain. I didn't know there were any other type of injections. I will talk to my Dr about these three options. Its good to know more about our health problems and options available. Makes it all way less scary!!! Thank you for this information.

Hi , Two years ago I had a disc removal and fusion. Prior to that I have many spine injections for pain. Since the surgery my back is so much better but still have pain but certainly not as bad as it was. The sciatica down my right leg is completely gone. I hope you will get pain relief.

[@kathykisslight]

Could you make a video about narrowed ankle or arthritis ankle? Any solution to stop the stiffness?

[@MJ-gj6mj]

One thing worth mentioning for the steroid injections, anyone with diabetes may be an increased risk for extremely high readings several days to weeks afterwards. This is something that varies between people, but can definitely be dangerous and land you in the hospital if you are not fully aware of that side effect or it has been minimized to you by your Dr. Other than that, always enjoy Bob & Brad's videos! Keep on posting :)

[@KrisOberhauserB]

Thank you for this. I have had pain for years and I FINALLY had a doctor that had me get an x-ray . My cartilage is severely depleted. I have Baker's cysts that are keeping me from sleeping with the cramps they cause. I am trying to learn what I can to make good choices for my poor knee. This explanation about shots was wonderful. It is too late to get regenerative therapy, they told me. I will need a new knee. In the meantime, I now understand the shots that will help me while I wait to get one.

[@MJ-gj6mj]

Did they offer HA injections? That's what another family member did for a few years to prolong the replacement. By the time the Drs. approved an MRI, there was significant damage so they didn't have much options either. I'm going through similar!

[@alcg3981]

In 2015, I went to a rheumatologist after debilitating knee pain in left knee. I had my knee drained of fluid (about 1/2 gal!). 1 week later, 2 separate injections 1 week apart. She said they were bio-identical synovial fluid, or Hyaluronic acid. Is that your #3 injection? Supposed to last 6 months, but in 3 months I had knee pain and popping again. Not debilitating but sometimes painful. I didn't go back, but started Chondroitin/Glucosamine pills and THAT worked. Then tried keto then very low carb and THAT is what I'm doing to this day. Knee pain stays away. It's a lifestyle change and works for me.

[@BobandBrad]

[@MJ-gj6mj]

What brand if you don't mind me asking? I tried Osteo Bi-Flex with no relief...and a family member did Instaflex $$$ and neither worked for us! TY for sharing your experience with HA injections too, currently looking into that.

[@alcg3981]

@@MJ-gj6mj sorry, just saw this, not on socials every day. I used Osteo Bi-flex and it took about a week to kick in. I know it worked because I'd do experiments stopping it for a couple weeks and my knee started hurting. Then restarted and after about 5 days, it fwlt better. BUT, when I started eating very low carb and sometimes almost Keto in 2017 is when I stopped the Osteo bf and have managed my knee with that .. and exercises to strengthen all surrounding leg muscles. It hurts from time to time if not in a good sleeping position. Only my left knee, not the right one. I hope you'll find relief soon and look into lowering carbs, which lowers inflammation, if you're not already. xoxo

[@peggyk.738]

My 80 year old mother-in-law saw an orthopedic surgeon a few weeks ago. She is not a heavy woman, and she has only one knee causing her problems. She feels she is ready for a knee replacement. The surgeon told her she isn't even close to surgery until she tries some other avenues. He offered her physical therapy, medication, and injections (didn't explain injections because she immediately refused all talk of them). She wants to go straight from physical therapy and medication to a replacement because she is afraid of needles. 🤦‍♀ She says the medication is helping so she may just stick with that....but we were told what he put her on is temporary and she can't take it long term. We go back on February 10th. I hope at that time she is accepting of having injections or at least discussing it before she gets to the point that she can't push through the pain.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

I had the hyaluronic acid gel injection because I don’t want steroids. Didn’t help. I have been through physical therapy because they said it’s needed to strengthen the muscles before surgery. My thigh is bowed, so causes my knee to grind when it bends/straightens. Half the knee the cartilage is completely gone. Hoping to have replacement surgery in spring.

Great overview, gents. Thank you! By the way, I have been receiving gel injections (Supartz Fx - Hyaluronic Acid) in both knees twice a year for 11 years, i.e., 110 injections in each knee, and they are still very effective. My recommendation to anyone considering these injections is that they have them administered by an M.D. orthopedist at a leading hospital, preferably one near their home, and that the doctor uses ultrasound to expertly guide the shots. Having researched this type of gel treatment for many years, I can highly recommend Supartz Fx, which is made by Bioventus. These injections are most effective when received over a period of five consecutive weeks, thus the recommendation for a hospital near your home. Do Not opt for other gels which, in order to attract those unwilling or unable to make 5 trips to the hospital, advertise three or even one injection, but include a much smaller amount of the gel and as a result are not nearly as effective. If your orthopod uses another gel and for some reason won’t order Supartz Fx for you, find a doctor who will! Find a Physician here: www.oakneepainrelief.com/supartz_fx/physician-locator/ Good luck!

I have had the cortisone shots, never again. I want to do everything I can not to have knee surgery. My OS put me in a support brace and that has really helped plus doing exercises. When I golf ⛳️ I wear the brace and when I walk my mile every day I wear it. Typically around the house I don’t need it.

In my 30s, had arthroscopic surgery on rt knee. The OA shredded the meniscus and cartilage. They removed both & shaved the bone. Had the lubricant injection about every 6 mths, was great. After while only required once a year. Then the pandemic and the office wasn't taking appointments, then i got busy with care giving to parents. Well fast forward to current, and am told my insurance stopped paying for this treatment. They gave me a steroid injection. A weak later knee swelled 3xs its size. This may sound odd, but the knee would get painful, seldom swell. I thoght steroid was suppose to reduce swelling. Called the dr office, they said its natural progression of the bone on bone OA condition and told me the only next option is replacement. I avoided that for 30 years with the lubricant shot. Insurance will cover replacement but not the lubricant injection. Boggles the mind. Not sure what to do. As have been told for 30 years, you're an excellent candidate for replacement but too young. I've stayed active with non weight bearing exercises, swimming, cycling and yoga. Have high energy and still work a full time job. I hope to work at least anther 10 yrs. My only concern, i have a lot of allergies, am concerned about the product material content. Have heard a small % actually have allergic reacton. Causing chronic inflammation, stiffness &/or pain. CHRONIC. Well now it feels like being between a rock and a hard spot. Its a serious consideration. Thank you for all your informative videos

@@BobandBrad Hi guys,,love watching all your helpful and informative videos,,,yes I did six sessions of PT,,tried to keep up doing them,but sometimes the pain so bad that's it's just unbearable to do 😩.

[@dianetodd9719]

Because of my health, ( not being able to have surgery on my knees,) I have been been getting synvis shots over 15 years and they only last about 6 months!!! I have seen so many different doctors hoping to find something else and they all give me the same shots! I still have lots of pain with the shots, but I heard about a treatment ( from my pain doctor) that they go into the knees and do a bunch of needles to deaden the nerves, with some kind of electros !!! I am a little bit scared of this procedure but I don't know what to do, please help me!!!

[@jouffroy47]

Are you saying that you can only do the Viscosupplementation 3 times period ?

[@BobandBrad]

That's about what they will do

[@marktilsley8191]

Why can you only have 3 Hylauronic acid injections 3 times. Why did you not mention Arthrosamid? This looks like a game changer and gets very good reviews.

[@JB-pd4ni]

I had 3 visco injections over a 3 week period, in 2018. It has been fantastic! 5 YEARS later still as good as the first month ( which is 95% of full function). Where did you get the idea they only last a few months? I hope you will correct your error, it gives people a very wrong idea.

[@bernicethomas9423]

That is good news to hear that Viscosupplementation injections have worked wonders for you. I completed my 3 injections got the last one Dec 11, 2023. No major knee pain before injection just noticed my knee would buckle occasionally when walking which scared me so bad. I have been doing PT working to strengthen muscles and regain mobility. So far no buckling but really scared as my knee feels weird sometimes. I’m 61 and was told I have OA in both knees but nothing to worry about regarding knee replacement. I would appreciate any advice you can give to encourage me. I’m trying to get back to walking and lose weight. I’m not obese but l can stand to lose about 20 pounds. Thank you in advance.

[@pdlngsqrs9547]

How is Bob nowadays?

[@riversavage5608]

I lift all the time and do cardio. I had the cortico -steroid injection. I didn’t notice anything much in terms of pain reduction. Probably because I keep busting ass.

[@alcg3981]

I'm sure that helps. Stairs and strengthening my muscles around the knees seems to help me. Quads?🤔

[@BobandBrad]

Best of luck

[@riversavage5608]

@@BobandBrad -Oh, I am probably continuing to damage the knee. I know that, but, I don’t want quit exercising.

[@riversavage5608]

@@BobandBrad - Your videos are great and have helped me a lot. I mean to say that the cortisone didn’t help because I keep exercising. My fault.

Had a monovisc injection 3 weeks ago and my knee pain is worse. Doctor said it could take a few weeks to take effect. Disappointed

Lidocaine injection ladted three months but was effective

Nope! Stem cell and other regenerative type injections do not work! We are just not there yet!

[@marynixon9362]

My Humana insurance will not let me have the shots that I know works for me that drug is called Euflexia it really works , that’s what they do to us older people 😟😟😟😟

[@nancykenly8315]

I also love Euflexa and so far my insurance pays for it but the last time I had to really specify that I want to stay on it

[@BobandBrad]

We are very sorry to hear that, it's unfortunate when insurance doesn't help us get what we feel like we need or could benefit from.

[@MJ-gj6mj]

They cover the more invasive, risky options though. Go figure! I've heard Euflexia has been around for a while too, so it must be decent stuff.

[@annwilliams6438]

Do NOT have cortisone injections directly into the joint. Rather have your doctor use a dental injection needle and inject portions of the dose AROUND the joint.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing

[@guyo83]

Is Bob feeling ok? Seemed like he was slurring / exhausted?

[@BobandBrad]

Bob has Ataxia. We did a video on this a while back if you are interested in watching it. It affects his speech and mobility but not his mind!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqupdqOmfL54gaM

[@charlesshahar1081]

You did not mention Hyaluronic Acid. Which category does it belong to?

[@58bobby]

It's the 3rd option, viscosupplementation.

[@just.bob.j]

wow...is the guy on the left drunk or does he naturally slur his words?

[@BobandBrad]

Bob (the tall one) has been diagnosed with Ataxia. It affects his balance and his speech, but does not affect his thinking. We appreciate your understanding and support!

[@MJ-gj6mj]

That's honestly so unnecessary to be rude like that. There are MANY reasons why someone's speech is impaired and none of which require any explanation to a stranger.

[@leeS04]

They are making alot of money with surgery.

[@marktarascio4766]

Shots like this will cause degradation to the joint...dont care what youre mother said !

[@falahali4266]

your partner is drunken .

[@BobandBrad]

Bob Schrupp was diagnosed with Ataxia, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the cerebellum, a few years ago. This condition has challenged his balance, coordination, and speech.
