I’m a believer in personal physical therapy. Like many, I had a severe meniscus tear. My doctor said one of the worst he had seen. I could hardly walk, wore a knee brace and limped. My doctor told me I needed a knee replacement. I requested a second opinion. My doctor was at the top of his profession so I asked for an older one. He concurred that it was a really bad tear and not much cartilage left. But instead of a knee replacement, he said he’d use an arthroscopic procedure to clean up the worst parts and use PT. He said I’d get another 2 or 3 years before I’d need a replacement. I used PT everyday and 2 years when I saw him again, the scan showed new cartilage and the spiral cut mostly healed. That was 20 years ago today and my knees are remarkably pain free as is my walking and hiking, even with weight. About 10 years ago, same side hip started to get inflamed. Same story, same result. I’ve repaired my hip so that the worst it is now is the best it used to be. It takes work. I do 45 minutes of PT everyday. Knees, hips and back. I’m 77 and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be my limbs or joints that does me in. I think the easy way out is surgery or replacement as many find doing PT everyday too hard. My advice, start small, start gentle and push yourself ever so slowly. I went from hardly making it out to get the mail to walking 4-5 miles everyday and hiking in the wilderness.

I have a similar experience. I am 86 and had been a runner all my life. Mid sixties had arthroscopic surgery on both knees due to meniscus tears, was told then I qualify for knee replacement. The surgery cleanout was good, but I was still limping due to pain and with stairs I had to walk down backwards. Fortunately, my surgeon was a sportsman and skier and told me I could heal the meniscus with exercise almost exactly as in The most important thing, he emphasized was the healing rest periods between exercise. I followed this advice religiously since that day. I still have my crappy knees, but can walk/run 10K a week and still doing down-hill and cross-country skiing in winter. I have no knee pain as long as I listen to my body and know when to dial down my activity.

@BodyFixExercises Update (12/10/2024): My routine at the gym is as follows. Three hours on the treadmill, both zone 2 and VO2Max. About 80% zone 2. So, zone 2 while doing 3 to 4 mph on an incline setting. VO2Max at about 4.5 to 4.7 mph on an incline for 5 minutes sessions. During the 3 hour cardio workout, I'll set the threadmill to 1.5 mph so I can walk slowly while focusing on putting the body weight on the knees as I pace. I think that is what may have fixed my knee. May be that built the cartilage, as per your video. I also do 30 minutes to 1 hour of weights. I do that work at the gym 4 days a week. I also eat lots of protein. I feel great. Life is good. 👍

This is exactly how I cured my knee pain 20 years ago. 20 years ago i hurt my right knee by abruptly start running at 7.5 mph (for my first triathlon). Years of biking, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, elliptical machine did not prevent my knees from hurting. Those low-impact movements had made my knees weak for years. 20 years later, now I can run, jump without any knee problems. I can perform Asian squat, too. Resting was making more problems in my case. The cure to my knee problem was slow-running (5 mph) to rebuild strength and stimulate/put moderate stress on my knee joints and legs. I do not like running, but I learned from my experience that I need to keep running to keep my knees strong and mobile while keep doing biking, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, CrossFit, martial art. But no more elliptical machine for me.

I have done this. It takes a long time. Im 3+ years in from being told i needed a knee replacement. I dont agree with the running and "heavy weight lifting" though. Short runs may be ok but you must make sure form is perfect and there a no weak muscles leading to poor form/tracking of the knee joint causing èxtra pressure on the damaged cartilage. Heavy weight training is fine. Im not talking low rep stuff like 3x3 strength programs or something. I keep reps at around 15 per set and use progressive overload slowly and carefully. Im up to 90kg deep back squat and 140kg deadlifts for 15 reps with perfect form, can also do 1 leg/pistol squats. Very important to train strength through the full range of motion(deep squats) look at knees over toes guy, it took me 2 years to regain full range of motion in my knee but i can do his exercises now.

'ORIF' (8.5 hr surgery, team of surgeons, 2 anaethetists, you name it) left it looking like the Eiffel tower. 2 yrs later, surgery to remove the metalwork had 'complications' (infection). At this stage I was pretty much abandoned by the medical profession and told it was "arthritic" with cartilage loss. Years later, a NATUROPATH treated - successfully it seems!! - chronic osteomyelitis, and helped me on the path to recovery (MAGNESIUM, Vit D3 + K2, Collagen supplements). I had some "blowouts" by OVERDOING it at the gym (almost crippled for months afterwards), but have slowly developed my own exercise routine which 100% validates everything you've said in this great vid!! 20 minutes on a cross trainer, 60 rpm, increasing "level" (intensity / resistance) every 2 mins. 20 minutes on a treadmill - walk 2 mins, run 30 seconds, adding 1km/h each increment. Unfortunately, I have NO ongoing MRI scans (did I mention, "abandoned" by the medical profession?) to PROVE progress, but the single biggest thing (yeah, "anecdotal" and all that) I've done for pain relief and improvement is a topical *castor oil compress*.

I was very active in my younger years, and a after knee injury had my meniscus removed. 20+ years later knee problems started, I put up with it for 10 years and was close to bone on bone in my knee. At 59, I chose to have Stem Cell treatment, with the aim of growing cartilage on the end of the bones in my knee, and avoiding knee replacement. It was painful and costly, but it worked, no pain or problems for the last 6 years. Apparently it doesn't work for everyone, but for me its been a total success. If you are over 60 apparently cell growth slows down and regrowing cartilage take much longer to regrow, if ever. But if you are younger it very likely it works.

I would add in extra supplements that build cartilage like glucosamine, chondroiten...for sure....but also collagen and vit c, immediately after exercise. Boswellia extract will also turn macropgages in your joints from imflammatory to anti inflammatory. Staying off of suger and grains will save your joints from further inflammation. A ketogenic diet is good for this. Omegas 3s and curcumin are beneficial too. Having a fatty liver causes more joint damaging compounds to be formed. ( I forget the name of it) . Again...a keto diet helps to cure fatty liver and weightloss will lower stress on the joints.

Same things apply. Moderate level, cyclic motion, consistent pressure, 15 minutes max, 3x a week. Using a pushing motion, not a pulling motion. So I'd use a cross trainer, where you're using your arms a fair bit (not all leg power) but focusing on the pushing motion with the arms.

I've seen presentations citing research about exercise & the spine that indicate that exercise can do something similar (with the discs and joint cartilage of the spine). Low impact, short exercise time, built slowly etc.

Yes, there are a few medical interventions that may help. Doctors get some success with piercing the cartilage in multiple places which can help form a fibrous kind of cartilage. But fibrous cartilage is not true cartilage, and medical interventions are not my speciality so I'll leave that to the doctors

TMJ disc is different. In most TMJ disc issues the disc moves out of its normal position and becomes bent or distorted. It isn't worn thin like a knee or a hip. So the same doesn't apply

At 60 years of age, I’ve been diagnosed with severe ankle arthritis. I have a stationary cycle which I use almost every day, much in the way you describe. Would it be beneficial to purchase a rowing machine as well? In other words, is the cycle enough, or would the variety in exercise have added benefit? Would it be worth the cost? I don’t have health insurance, and I’d rather spend the money on the equipment than on a surgical procedure. Thank you!

I’ve been experiencing severe lower back pain recently, along with pain in my knees and hip region. A year ago, I was diagnosed with Grade 4 Chondromalacia. Although my doctor advised against walking, I continue to walk as it helps me feel better, though I feel stiff in my joints when I don’t. I’ve been told that cartilage doesn’t regenerate except through surgery (osteobrassion and tissue culture), which I wish to avoid. Are there exercises, dietary changes, or lifestyle habits that could help improve joint mobility and support cartilage health? In India, doctors often seem unconcerned and don't offer much guidance. I’m taking vitamin D and bone soup-are these helpful, or should I consider additional steps? I also feel that I’ve gained weight, especially when I sit for work, despite not eating much. The weight seems hard to lose. Can you provide advice on how to manage this and improve my joint health?

I haven't read the studies personally, I follow a pro strength athlete named Matt Vena here on YT. He references studies showing the safety of lifting and positive benefits to the body frequently. Plus it also just makes sense from a basic understanding of how our bodies function. Our muscles/tendons/ligaments/bones all grow bigger when we load them regularly at safe but intense levels, but you expect me to believe that somehow Cartlidge is an exception, when its made of the same stuff as tendons are? That makes no sense. And we now know that Arthritis is caused by metabolic dysfunction, not wear and tear. watch this video: "Arthritis is a Metabolic Disease: Eat This Way for Joint Health" By High intensity Health.
