13 Powerful Tips To Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery For A Bone On Bone Knee

[@joniwarren3100]

Great video! I am on week 2 of your program. Between your videos and my chiropractor (who agrees with your videos) my knees feel better than they have in quite awhile. I am just now able to do all the reps and have no desire to quit these exercises. I have had too many painful years to quit.. Thank you for all your videos…💕

Thank you for your information. I just went to a knee doctor who told me from my x rays that I needed two knee replacement. He didn’t touch me or anything. I am over weight and losing weight but he acted so funny towards me and I left in tears. I don’t want surgery and he said that was my only option. I was researching and ran cross your video and I feel so much better. Thank you!!!❤

[@isabelsegovia8498]

I was like you lost lots of weight. Got better for awhile as I got older my knee got worse, I have RA& osteo. Got my first injection so far good it's been almost a week knee sore just taking it one day at a time.🙏🙏🙏

[@floragrace5831]

how are you now? Last week the ortho told me after looking at my xrays that i need two knees replacement. like you i cried, in the car. i am 5'2 and 107 kg with BMI 46. He said lose weight in 6 months and only then can they do the surgery. He said i have Advanced osteoarthritis and both my knees have started stiffening since i cannot lay them flat on the bed. This was so scary information. I know it's my fault because of my weight but still it's hard to take in. Luckily I found Dr David's web even before my meeting with the ortho so i am trying very hard to convince myself that if i lose weight first i might help my knee without surgery. btw, I hope you're are well now. Please share how you manage yours.

I gave up, after 2 years of extreme pain in my left knee. I went to my knee doc and begged for a Total Knee Replacement, which, of course, he gladly did. This was all before I discovered Dr. David. Blessed relief. My pain instantly reduced by 75%. I was told that I had a bad meniscus tear. But now I am having issues with my kneecap. Then, I discovered Dr. David. I am now working on my muscle imbalances, and my kneecap pain is slowly decreasing. I feel better every day. I have shown my regular, home therapist Dr. David's philosophy, and he immediately changed his home exercise program for me. I graduated today from therapy, with occasional flare ups from my kneecap. But, I feel so much better. Yes, it was worth it.

Okay, 2 weeks ago I started your ‘Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises’ I turn on the video and do them almost every day. I’m 71, I’ve had 2 knee replacements on my left knee (neither worked) and my right knee is so bad 2 different surgeons said they won’t operate. Haven’t been able to walk at all for a month. Osteoarthritis is really bad. Yesterday I started walking (after watching your walking video) 10 minutes 3 times a day. I’m almost pain free. Holding back trying not to overdo it. I’ve been going crazy for years doing hamstring and quad exercises. Your 100% correct, it’s made my knees worse. God Bless.

Was told that knee had a couple of spurs, the other looked good and I may have to have partial knee replacement in about 20 years. Like I said I wake up every night with pain in both knees.

I'm 66 years old and just got diagnosed with severe arthritis bone on bone very painful. It started gradually since last November and became unbearable in July of this year. Being that it was my first visit at the orthopedic clinic I got a cortisone shot to alleviate the pain. I'm not into medical drugs I believe that it may relieve temporarily but harm another part of the body. I was thinking all day of doing natural home remedies and the right exercise. I then tuned on to KZbin and saw your videos.Thank you so much. I am going to do these exercises because I don't want to take future cortisone or medication or have a knee replacement. I am a healthy person thank God. I'm not on any health medication and I want to keep it that way😊 Thank you again for your video God bless you for sharing.

Yes I love your work. I have been taking your advice and adding a few other bits and pieces here and now. The first time I went in to see any specialist they had a CT scan and the specialist said that I have arthritis under the right knee joint. I’m 52 at the moment and he said I’m too old for a knee reconstruction. I’m too old for knee replacement. But he said that he was in bad condition. So six months later after doing those moves and procedures that you have put forward to us. I have seen another specialist twice more and he stated that he wished he had knee joints like myself at my age. He said there is no arthritis no Cartlidge damage nothing wrong in the knees. And that is just in six months of these procedures you have educated if you is on. Can’t thank you enough for getting out there and Educating the public on right form technique dos and don’t’s for good joints. Love your work thank you

[@6942pjka]

52 is too old? My mom is almost 90 and just got a knee replacement. Not sure if it’s was the best decision but she wanted it so badly and was tired of not being able to walk like she used to. She’s doing ok for her age but I wish I could’ve convinced her to follow these things.

[@pamelaturner29]

You have helped more than the physical therapists I've been to this summer. I felt and heard a pop in my knee, inside, close to the knee cap in mid March. It was during the night and the next day it burned like fire. The inside of my knee became extremely sensitive to touch, so much that I can only sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees. I hurt so bad this summer while on vacation that I walked into an ortho clinic for help. Knee replacement was the number 1 solution but did send me toba physical therapist. He did have me do the dangling exercise which did help. Since ive been back home i went to my Dr who had me see an ortho sur so I saw an ortho surgeon this week and the solution was knee replacement. That night I came across your video about getting rid of inner knee pain! I tried the exercise you gave and the result was amazing! I left the orthopedics office with no hope but you have given hope back for which I'm so grateful! Thank you for caring and sharing. I found you at the right time.

[@helencentofanti5274]

What about straight leg exercises all 4 planes front back both sides it helped me avoid knee pain and I had JRA from aprox 1958 to 1995 l was born 1953 bone on bone for sooo many years from joint damage but l have no pain at all. 10 years ago they wanted to replace both my knees but all l had was a little tare which I healed myself took a long time but I avoided surgery. I've taken all the supplements for over 50 years and won't stop, too much to loose. l feel great at 69 l walk around 2 to 5 miles daily l do a full body workout for 3 miles 3 to 5 days a week. Make sure you take or eat omega 3 oils, turmeric, glucosamine condroitin MSM all important plus 3k to 5 k vit. D3 and a good quality natural multivitamin not synthetic. Be patient it takes time to reverse pain and damage but it can be done.

[@lisalu910]

You are 100% correct about walking. I ran for years, and when knee pain sidelined me, I kept walking for exercise. But it didn't get better, it has steadily gotten WORSE. Now I go to the gym and do other cardio (but NO TREADMILL) and work with a personal trainer, but I have stopped walking for exercise and that is the only way I can control the pain and swelling in my knee. Also, I am intrigued by point #3 where you say that what they show you on an x-ray (in my case, "You have stage 3 arthritis") might not be permanent. That is a game changer, I never knew that! They made it sound like the degeneration was irreversible and would only get worse, but never better.

This is great advice, but my knees were so severe, I finally got both knees replaced last year. Before, I couldn't even go to the grocery store, even do simple household tasks and had chronic bursitis. I regret not getting them replaced sooner. It's great if anyone can get help from exercises or therapy. but I just wish I had my knees replaced years before they got that bad. The surgery and recovery were not that bad. Lots of physical therapy and walking was essential. Good luck to you all doing exercises or therapy. I hope it works for you, but if you need surgery, don't be afraid to get it. JMO

I'm really happy for your success because I read far too many cases where people got the surgery and have been even worse, not just immediately after but for years or ever since!

I’ve had my arthritis over 10 years now and currently I’m 28 years old. Your videos are the first source where i learned about avoiding hard stretching and not strenghtening quads or hamstrings. I’ll give this butt strenghtening a try, thanks mate!👊

Recently started having extreme knee pain. Was sent by NP to get x-rays and referred to an Ortho. More x-rays were done. Told I had the start of osteoarthritis w/something floating. Was given a cortisone shot that didn't relieve the pain just made my leg feel numb for a little while. Continued on with the pain. Eventually after a week and half went to ER. Felt like I had a toddler wrapped around my leg. No help, but sent to another Ortho who just badgered me about my weight and Meloxicam usage. More x-rays, and told knee replacement due to bone on bone and spurs. 2 weeks different in between x-rays and surgeons. No follow up other than how well did we do. Changed my shoes and started using a sleeve folded in half worn below my knee. I walk wobbly but no pain.

Absolutely sage advice from a doctor that really seems to have thought deeply about arthritis of the knee and how to treat it.

What an amazing guy you are!! I just want to cry!! These doctors I been going to see me as bait for surgery, I want an interpreter to read my x-ray. Told I am severe. I. Have very little little pain! I walk fine! They see me as a Ginny pig and stupid. You are my 4th doc and I see you as my new doc I have been looking for. All your advice is excellent. It’s true information it makes common sense. This one doc wrapped his neck around the door as leaving after the exam saying you need knee surgery. Talking in the hall for me to hear him. I am walking fine this is the trickery!! Yes. I never subscribe to any ones channel before. I will yours. I am 72 years young thank for your science this is exactly the information I have been looking for. I want to get the glut exercise. This is all civilized preventative information and you give the details of the knee dilemma. Thank you very much and very sincerely!! For the information

The tailgate swing is what fixed my knees. My MRI showed a little arthritis and a meniscus tears in both. Went onto the glucosemain sulphate, msm, fish oil for 6 months, still take them and did the tailgate swing, only I increased the activity 10 fold. That is I applied ankle weights to my ankle (3kg), which further opened up the joint and applied a hot wheat pack on top of my knee to increase more blood flow to the joint. My knees feel like 25 again and I'm approaching 60 yo. I still can jog on grass for an hour with no pain.

[@judisinger3693]

This video has great info! I was told by my orthopedist recently that it takes 3 patients these days for doctors to make what 1 patient surgery made them 10 years ago! I'm almost embarrassed when I see what Medicare pays in relation as to what was charged! I spent 3 hours in a waiting room to see knee surgeon because their office was so overbooked. I walked out! I still haven't gone back and I am getting along just fine! You nailed it on your #3 tip!!! Great video!! Keep your original parts!!!!

But i still dont have peace about having it replaced. I just have a real LOW threshold of pain, and at 69 ... I'm ready to try these things.

Great information!!!! I've been working on "fixing" my knees with exercise and stretching and I believe you are 100% right about the glutes. After more than 6 months of trying to strengthen my leg muscles to relieve my knee pain I finally came to realize how weak my glutes actually are and with this new perspective I will now increase those exercises. Yay!! I was surprised to hear you say not to work the quads and hamstrings, but what you said makes sense. Thank you!

Thank you. Just started having issues and I had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee seven years ago. One Thing I know for certain to you gotta keep your weight down too.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Sheila, absolutely yes keeping weight under control helps, but it's not the full picture! It may be more important if your weight is very excessive, but if your weight is not too excessive, then addressing the muscle imbalance would be more important to focus first. We hope your knee pain goes away fast!

I read somewhere that bouncing up and down on a rebounder helps lubricate the joints. It also helps with the lymphatic drainage. Would you recommend using a mini trampoline/rebounder for knee problems? I don't have arthritis of the knee but have had some knee pain from time to time because I'm slightly overweight and know I need to get my weight down. Also I twisted my knee years ago and that may be the reason I'm experiencing some pain there. I do take devils claw and glucosamine as well as collagen protein powder. I also heard that ingesting hyluronic acid helps lubricate joints too.

Thank you for this video! I am trying to avoid knee replacement surgery as diagnosed. And I do have knee arthritis. This video has revealed that my thigh, quad and glute muscles are part of the problem. With a little work out on these and especially the glute muscles I can feel improvement and cannot wait to see what further workout will bring! I have been using Collagen-two scoops, Turmeric, Boswellia-joint mobility and Solgar No. 7-joint support for growth stimulants.

[@rousiecat4615]

I can’t thank you enough for your videos this one especially. I have bone on bone in my left knee and recently sprained my right MCL with a small medial meniscus horn tear and bursitis. I am using a walker and ice and heat. Taking Motrin and move free and staying off of it as much as possible. I am making headway. The first thing they want to do is surgery or knee replacement and I don’t want either. I saw where they are not recommending knee surgery for meniscus because it can heal on its own. You have given me so much useful information. Thank you!

[@lafrancehannele6884]

Listening to you I found myself nodding like a horse on a farm! So many of those stretches I have found thru trial and error. The latest one was the gluten tightening, It keeps the knee in place. Then you talk about it all, as if I was supposed to find your channel. My whole rt side of body is weaker, because of a slight, life long scoliosis. Meniscus repair on the rt knee a few years back. Sometimes it still " clicks" but worth the surgery. I do walk about 45 min almost daily, then "twist and turn " on the floor stretching. I am a senior lady and my mother is my example. She did yoga and plates in the 50's and 60's and put her bones back in place with different sizes of small balls that she had ready in a cloth bag! This was before there was chiropractic. She lived to be 99. She always said, that body was made to move. I also deal with S.I joint and doctor is recommending a new series of shots...was it phelotherapy?? I should look up the real nsme as now I am guessing. At my grandma age, still looking for natural methods. My knee only bothers me from overuse, or side to side moves. Thank you for shoving a few more moves to work on...yes, I also ballroom dance, which is a wonderful exercise, but there too, I have to remember my age and this arthritis that pests us humans.Thank you again!

I’ve been dealing with knee pain for a few weeks now. The second day it started I went to an ortho and without further info he told me I had arthritis and gave me a cortisone injection. That did not do anything. The pain continued and increased as the days passed by. I ended up in ER due to pain. The Dr. there put a patch of lidocaine which did nothing either. I’ve been learning so much with your videos. Getting prepared for another ortho appointment. At least now I have more questions to ask based on the info you shared with us for which I am very grateful.
