Great advice for a recent disgnosis of knee surgery!

[@BobandBrad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@erichaynes7502]

I'm 56..I overdid the exercise from Jan-May and by June I couldn't walk 50 yards. I thought I could rest my knee for 2 weeks but that didn't work. By July I thought I was doomed to knee replacement. It's now Sep 22, here's what helped me the most(lowest to highest): 5. 600mg Ibuprofen 2x a day - low to medium success. 4. Lying down/rest with brace - low to medium success. 3. Drinking 2 or 3 alcoholic drinks before bed - Medium to High success, woke up with much less pain. 2. Knee exercise, mainly me lying down grabbing knee and stretching - High success. 1. Changing eating habits, reduce sugar intake - High success, this surprised me the most but the effect was almost immediate. I was completely shocked that reducing sugar made my knee feel so much better so quickly. I now eat keto twice a day, noon and 8PM and I doubt I'll ever kneed a knee replacement.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for sharing!

[@roslynhancock1652]

Keto saved me from a knee replacement too. And I discovered if I cheated and had dessert [any thing with sugar] I would get leg cramps that night while trying to sleep. Sugar is a poison!

[@cartmansuperstar]

by "sugar", you mean carbohydrates in general or sweet stuff?

[@erichaynes7502]

@@cartmansuperstar I'd try to cut any/all carbs for a week to see if there's any change in pain level. One year later I still have a little knee pain but it doesn't keep me from doing anything. My best suggestion is high protein, low fat, carbs via all types of vegetables. I watch of YT videos by Athlean-X, he seems to have a lot of the right answers about exercise and nutrition.

[@cartmansuperstar]

@@erichaynes7502 thanks for answering so far. May i ask, whether you had any diagnosis or was it just knee-pain suddenly appearing? did your knees hurt before? and are you limited in strength-training right now? Good, that you found sth that worked for you.

[@evelynestevez4468]

Good information! Thanks! When my phone added captions, instead of "milking cows" it typed "smoking cows" as a possible cause of worn knees. I laughed out loud!

Good video. Just diagnosed with knee arthritis. Was bummed out as I am very active. This video made me feel a bit better.

[@ccinndierella9]

I have been taking Hyaluronic acid for a few years. I was having difficulty walking up and down stairs. It was worse going down it hurt aweful! But now I am fine. H.A. total saved me! It's rare if I get pain probably for lack of remembering to take Hyaluronic acid.

So wild. Just made an MRI apt about 9 hours ago for both knees. Determined to avoid surgery and will try it all. Thanks for the info.

Best of luck!!

If have to sit a lot….get a rocker or a swivel/glider…..keep things moving.

Sitting is the new smoking 🚬.... Get up do whatever, I save some housework for at night, namely my bath 🛁 and making my bed 🛌 plus tidying up the kitchen then there's my cat 🐱!

You can do some sitting exercise and keep moving while you’re sitting if you have to be sitting alot

I walk briskly 2 miles a day, but about 3 weeks ago my left knee started hurting as soon as I start walking. Desperate to know what’s happening, I don’t want to stop walking, but today I limped back to the car! Help!

Love you two 😊

I’ve been on anti inflammatories for years. Now I have stomach ulcers, even though I always took the tablets with food.

[@roslynhancock1652]

Try the keto diet to reduce sugar and simple starches in your diet. It altered my life. Read up on sugar being an inflammatory. My knee replacement was canceled!

[@jaynedombrowski7996]

Great video, thanks for the great advice. I've definitely learnt so much about my conditions and how to effectively treat my pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery Bob, sending you both best wishes from Wales, UK

My father,93, says before you are old, you can't know what it is.... And yes,he have knees problems. When you have an accident, it might take some time but you will get better. When you're old, you will only get worst.

[@mhelen2810]

Cut carbs. Loose weight, maintain active lifestyle

[@CBT5777]

Done all that. Doesnt work.

[@cherylanne6549]

I had both knees replaced at 60, and I had been waiting. I was very active, marathons, racewalking thousands of miles a year, and my knees had been hurting for a long time. What's frustrating to me is that they still hurt so much. I'm still active. I try to walk

[@cherylanne6549]

Several miles several times a week, but I am always in pain. Tomorrow I'm going back to a knee doctor to see what the heck is going on because it just seems ridiculous. And in my family, arthritis is definitely genetic. Even my son who's only 30 has the painful thumb joint. My sister had surgery on that joint in her mid 50s and mine hurts all the time. Maybe you could do a video about that!

[@roopa1957]

I have arthritis for the past 2 months and the doctor said i have meniscus tear after seeing my MRI and it is very painful to walk. Can you suggest some exercise to get relief from that. I am walking with brace .

[@maryw4659]

I’m 32 and was told my right knee is almost bone on bone following an injury when I was 14 that wasn’t addressed until recently. I’m too young for a knee replacement but I had MPFL 18months ago. Any tips? Im trying to lose weight but not sure what else to do. Thank you xx

[@omstygomsty]

Regenerative medicine should be the go to at this stage. Knee cartilage resurfacing and regeneration is possible you just have to seek out the right doctors. There are a number of clinical stage three and four trials nearing completion for this tech So many ortho doctors and medical device companies have cosy relationships. According to research 80 percent of knee replacements aren't even necessary and the damage can now be mostly regenerated even if you're bone on bone. Do your research and find out for yourself.

[@k8eekatt]

I had a great rapport with my husband's doctor but it turned out the surgeon was a great conversationalist and a poor surgeon; Got banned from surgery because he nicked a woman's artery during surgery, she lost a lot of blood, the leg lost circulation and she had to have her leg amputated above the knee. A few years before that happened, he had to re-do the ACL replacement on my husband's knee because it snapped; it was too tight. After the second surgery, there was also a lot of blood, so much that the post op splint and all the bandages slid off his leg, soaked in blood. Surgery is not a simple permanent fix, do all you can to avoid it. This was the recommendation of my Grandfather, who was in fact, a highly recognized and competent orthopedic surgeon. My aunt's friend had her leg amputated after knee replacement because of on going infection. Another friend broke her leg at the replacement and that caused her to fall. Knee replacement is not something to hope for.

[@roslynhancock1652]

Stop eating processed food, simple starches and ban sugar from your diet. This saved me from knee replacement.

[@freedomprayer007]

I will be 28 in november, last year on my right knee - MRI showed minor ligament tear, I started using the left knee more, later while playing badminton now Left knee showed minor ligament tear, I am very stressed bcz of all this. how do I recover?

[@laurenceegerton890]

20 years. It seems the same. Left knee only hurts if I keep in the same position for hours

[@tonyaperry4763]

So you believe forcing yourself to keep moving, exercising/walking ect. through the pain helps to keep you mobile and decreases the pain?

[@laurenceegerton890]

@@tonyaperry4763 yes. I walk and bicycle. If I ride the Harley too far I have to keep moving my left leg or it gets stiff

there's always crackling when I move my knees and there a nerve pumping sensation on the right knee around the ligament tear area. any suggestions?

[@chinookvalley]

Hyalogic brand Hyaluronic Acid. A dropper a day keeps the pain away. I put it under my tongue. I also use it topically on my knuckles. It helps to restore the cushioning fluid (synovial fluid) around our joints. Give it a try.

Im 36 and i have been having issues with my knee for couple of months now and i have talked to my doctor about it. She explained what was happening and said it was common also. I take dance classes and go up and down stairs in my home and work with young children which includes getting really low and back up again. When i am exercising besides the dance classes could i be just putting to much on it? Now my weight by itself hurts when i walk and give out sometimes that i almost fell down the stairs one time. What do you suggest?

[@meganduckworth5753]

Im 39, 5 years ago I teared my ACL jumping on a trampoline and the pain from it didn't get better so my husband said go to the doctors and they said you have a ACL tear so it was only little tear since then I've been doing physio and it's done nothing then last year in April I did an MRI I found out I had bad arthritis which gave me a cartilage condition cause the arthritis damaged my cartilage and I had a large joint effusion and patella maltracking I went to the hospital for an appointment in August last year and they did surgery they did a Arthroscopy and cartilage surgery where they put holes in the cartilage I dont get as much pain in it now but I only found out in January this year that I have osteoarthritis in the other knee and it gives me a lot of pain I just went to the hospital again yesterday cause I was having issues with the knees cracking and it hurts the hospital didn't even suggest physio just a steriod needle im like no don't want anymore needles I felt the hospital was a waste of time I don't know what to do now help please

[@erichaynes7502]

Try Keto diet for 2-3 days if it works you'll realize how bad the "food" is killing us. Also what does the doctor say? Have you had x-rays?

[@BobandBrad]

Keep up the exercising, and try some exercises for help painful knees as well. Hopefully you’ll pain for away

[@pitchkapizda8355]

No knee arthritis never gets better don’t be fooled you can help minimise the pain slightly but NO can never get better
