How Much Weight Loss Is Needed To Help Knee Arthritis?

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

Lost 90 pounds since 2020 and now doing things I couldn’t do since 2014. I was told “bone on bone, need a knee replacement.” I didn’t want to go there. Low carb diet and resistance training got my health back!!!

[@gloriaglobug3799]

That's what I want to hear. My doctor advise me to do a knee replacement. I'm only 46 with bone on bone arthritis all caused by a torn meniscus that happened 11years ago. It never improved. Now I'm 30lbs over weight and my knee hurts very bad

[@avaelizabeth4808]

I had arthritis pain Everywhere .My neck used to creak when I turned it . I modified what I ate dramatically . The less plant matter, seed oils I consumed the better I felt. Until I was eating ruminant meat based lifestyle . I have late stage Lyme disease and multiple auto immune diseases . I also needed a 7 th knee surgery , but did not have insurance to pay for it. The swelling and pain went down after 2 years . If I eat almond flour my body hurts almost instantly . Be your own advocate and pray . I pray for wisdom and knowledge . The body is designed to heal itself .

What did you eat? Only meat?

[@FrozenSunshine-plk]

My body is designed to sickenning myself (3 autoimmune diseases).

[@avaelizabeth4808]

@@FrozenSunshine-plk It is all a matter of perspective . Everything begins in the mind. Perhaps this auto immune disease is a gift given to those who can endure the suffering . To learn to accept it , become friends with it , welcome it , understand it .To . be able to help, lift up , encourage ,restore faith and hope in others .I was born with double celiacs gene, almost no methylation ( so my body has hard time detoxing and holds onto toxins),diabetes, alzheimers gene, crohns,,Ehlers Danlos and I am neuro divergent . I am blessed and grateful for this life . This things do not define me but are my superpowers .

I started keto and have been making almond flour bread, I will switch to coconut flour bread and see if that makes a difference. Thank you.

Thanks for highlighting prayer. Believing God already paid for my healing

I can vouch that having lost 140lbs has greatly helped my mobility and knee pain. However, the knee pain has flared up recently due to a fall.

[@cecyylovesjesus3093]

Whats consider the most inflammatory food according to your patients?

[@reneeferreira5627]

How do we find the balance of excercise?

[@veronicafall8626]

Great info!

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Veronica! Thank you so much and thank you for your support! We truly appreciate it

[@lindathompson4770]

My knee caps are off center to the right. Do you have any thoughts ?

[@michelesinclair4360]

Hi Doc . I found a very good pain cream. Can I cause more problems by doing moderate exercise while cream is working.

[@Cecil-yc6mc]

You have probably read this paper. _The role of Botulinum toxin type A in the clinical management of refractory anterior knee pain_

[@robbiejohnson3698]

I have to have my second hip replacement the knee from my osteoporosis hip pain Iam 65 and weigh 258 Iam losing a pound a week

[@sujamathew1946]

What are the foods that cause inflammation ?

[@robieg855]

Anything processed. Like ham, bacon, lunch meats, sausage, even wine. Meats such as poultry, fish, pork are fine. Baked goods bad. Fresh veggies and fruits are excellent even walnuts are good. Plenty of water is good. I hope this helps you.

[@robieg855]

Go to the arthritis foundations website. They have all the foods listed there and so much more.

[@spezia8066]

[@lillian9221]

Sitting with my heel on a chair in front of me, with a five kilo bag of rice on my knee has so far made the biggest chance for me. Lost thirty kilograms as well.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Lillian, That is so awesome to hear! We wish you continued relief.🧡

[@rundogrun297]

I lost a lot of weight and it did nothing for my pain. So NO weight loss can not be a pain relief maneuver in every case

[@lisah5784]

2 years ago I lost 80 lb before my ankle surgery. I had the same amount of pain before the surgery. We could go today. I got a total knee replacement. I still had just as much pain even though I lost 80 lb 🤨

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

I lost 125 lbs. over 3 years during COVID. I lived in a house mostly carpeted with extra padding which helped my knees immensely. I moved to a condo, installed LVP (vinyl), and my pain went through the roof.

[@borgullet3376]

@rundogrun297 because you Still have inflammation. Weight loss does not mean loss of inflammation. If you still have sugar/carbs in your diet. You can loose all the weight you want. But your aggravated Joint will Still Be On FIRE🔥

[@lillian9221]

​@@borgullet3376not too mention seed oils. Sunday's fish and chips kills my knee on Mondays. Add Saturday's gin and tonic and i can't move.

[@lisah5784]

@@borgullet3376 You are 100% correct

[@catobie1948]

Wouldn't It depend how much you weigh to start with? If you weigh 350 lbs and you're 5'2" 20lbs wouldn't help. Junk and processed food don't help. And yes, muscle balance helps immensely.

[@nooks12]

Is it really about weight loss? What about strength? Would a muscular but short guy have knee arthritis as much as an obese person who weighs the same?

How can I get subtitles for Dr David's talks here

[@SueHawkins6816]

While playing the video tap the screen and you will see icons in the upper right corner of the screen. One of them says CC. Tap that icon and it will activate closed captioning/subtitles. Tap again and it will turn off.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]
