How To Walk Without A Limp (Even With Arthritis or After Knee Surgery)

[@oksanaroz2414]

Very-very useful video for me! So funny: I visited several orthopedic doctors: yes, moderate hip arthritis, yes lumbar stenosis, yes, knee arthritis. Do you want injections or surgery? - was their only question. Even I went to PT sessions, and they were telling me: don't limp! Yours is the first video so necessary to me! You are great! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful!

I have found the push from the toe has greatly increased my gait and eased pain after TKR. Much appreciated. Thanks so much

The best information i could find on KZbin. I think i have the 1st one and will try the remedy suggested

[@juror6900]

Thank you for this. You’ve explained it greatly and it make a lot of sense. I do have a question. I’ve had a knee replacement on one leg but have also had reconstructive foot surgery on the opposite leg. Can you suggest something that I can work on both issues?

[@More4Life]

Glad you liked the video. As to your questions, without knowing the specifics of what remaining deficits you have from each surgery, it would be impossible to give you a good answer. That's a better question to discuss with a physical therapist in person.

@@More4Life Ive never had pain from walking, but my left shoe always wears out faster than my right, My left big toe was partially amputated from an accident, and the end of it doesnt have normal sensation yet isnt painful. My wife, who has had a moderate to severe limp since she was a teenager (due to an accident) claims that I walk with a slight limp although its never really been obvious to me but she noticed it when we met. Im now 65 and wondering if the way I walk may cause future issues or problems, or whether is just natural for me

I've started doing your weight exercise for about 15 seconds about 5 times, a few times a day. But i do need to hang onto something to keep steady.I find it really hard to bear weight totally on it now. I've been waiting on knee replacement surgery for 18 months now, which will be happening in a few months time. I've been walking with a limp all that time, but I'm trying to keep my back straight and I don't swing my leg out. I think my muscles are weak in my left leg because of the limp. I find it hard to bear the weight on my left leg without holding on to something when doing that weight bearing exercise. I think my brain has totally rewired to limp now. I really need to try and bend my leg more. I cant bend it back anymore then the sitting position. Id be greatful for some advice on some exercises. I have had surgery on my knee twice though. To flush out an infection that occurred in my knee. The original limp occured from a fall down some stairs. I had a slight limp for 4 months, which got worse. I ended up in hospital with a knee infection. Which they had to flush out twice during surgery. They also found out i had osteoarthritis. Hence why im having the knee replacement. Surgery was delayed for about 12 months because of the infection. But I've never had problems before the fall. They say the fall could of accelerated the osteoarthritis symptons. I'm only in my early 50s. I even dream of walking properly without a limp. 😁 Sorry for the novel.

[@More4Life]

Sounds like you've been through a lot. In the short term, it would probably be a good idea to use a cane to walk. Many people think walking with a cane will make them weaker, but it actually does the opposite. And it helps "rewire your brain" (as you said) into a more normal walking pattern by helping you not limp. Here's more information on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onWpeH2inLpsm6c Good luck!

[@billyboyd3493]

Dr Dave, Many thanks for this video. It perfectly describes my limping issues. I suffer from the first limping pattern. So, I look forward to practicing the exercises and will revisit the other walking videos. THANK YOU. Great info, keep up the useful videos.

[@erinrenee6825]

Thank you, I absolutely agree 😊

[@SaynJust]

I was very excited by the content of this video as I had limp number two I just came back from a walk where I used your suggested resolution and it worked perfectly. The only problem was that after while seems like my buttocks seem to get fatigued the back of my leg, I'm gonna give it another shot tomorrow, but definitely worked at the onset

[@More4Life]

If you haven't been using those muscles in a while, they can get fatigued until you build up the endurance in them. That can take weeks to months depending on how long they've been unused. Glad it helped though.

[@claresmith9261]

I’m 3 years after a hip replacement and I still have a slight limp and the buttocks on the operated side can get sore, I really don’t want to go back to using a cane but should I when walking, thanks 🙏

[@christineseb]

My limping is an after effect of spinal surgery, a nerve is damaged. What to do about this?

[@More4Life]

It depends on which nerve and how badly damaged. Largely the techniques will be the same, but the length of time it will take, and how much or if recovery will take place depends on how bad the nerve damage is. Assistive devices like a cane or wheeled walker may be particularly important in this case. Good luck!

[@christineseb]

@@More4Life Thank you! nerve is S2

[@terrydaniels9126]

I don't want to be dependent on any thing so I pick and choose very rare

[@More4Life]

That's a very common thought process people have. Something to consider though is that if you limit your activity because you don't want to be dependent on a cane, it actually makes you weaker than if you were to be active more often for longer periods of time while using a cane. When used appropriately, canes or walkers make you stronger rather than weaker. Here's more on that along with some other myths about using a cane: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onWpeH2inLpsm6c

[@deborahgeels5395]

I have myeloma and have had several fractures including hip and femur. I have a leg length discrepancy of over 1.5 inches. I wear a shoe lift on the affected leg. Even with the shoe lift, I must use a cane to lessen my limp. Without the cane, it takes so much energy to walk. I just get so tired of keeping up with it while I'm working in the yard or trying to carry in groceries. I feel like my limp and balance have declined over time. I'll try some of the tips in your video. Thank you.

[@43dikshakamble61]

I limp even tho I try to walk normally but it's just not working idk what to do so that I can walk normally can you please suggest something?

[@More4Life]

It's a challenge to form a new habit. You may have to conscientiously remind yourself for 2 months or more. Try the tips in the video or see a PT in person, but it's not an overnight process either way.

[@carolinegathercole8473]

I realised I limped because I fear putting pressure on my arthritic hip due to pain

[@More4Life]

@carolinegathercole8473 fear can hold people back from a lot. Good that you recognized it though.

[@saqibkhalil9813]

How long limping lasts after femur surgery?

[@More4Life]

That depends on your post surgery therapy. Ideally though, it's best to use crutches or a cane until you're able to walk without a limp so that you don't learn the habit of limping in the first place.
