This is my first time doing the knee strenghtening exercises. At first it hurted after I've goten finished my knees feels good. Thank you for helping me to strengthen my knees. I've had a knee injury on my left knee in 1990, and misses the days of jogging and fast walking. I am going to do these knee exercises with you every time I get up.

[@roshanwright3436]

thank you so much for this. much much better than my actual physio was. I totally could not do the tall step they started me on with my knee injury and osteoarthritis. so are all these doable safe with the modifications? I love all the levels you share with us.

Had a femur fracture 6 months ago.. undergone ORIF.. now knee is swollon.. oedema and crepitus on bending... cand i do these exercises... will they help?

[@maheejaya]

Thank you Doctor,I am 36 yrs old female. I have swelling on my left knee. My physiotherapist told me that my muscles are week and thigh muscle is tight. Doing some small excersises. I follow your patellar tendonitis and IT band exercises. It gives me good result. But if I stand for sometime I feel tightness in knee and calf.can you please suggest me the excersise which is suitable for me.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. Unfortunately, I don't know what would be best for you since I can't evaluate you. I would continue to follow your physiotherapist's instructions since they have properly evaluated you.

[@maheejaya]

@@AskDoctorJo ok Doctor,I am from South part of India.Here I couldn't get proper solution for my problem.I consulted Ortho Doctors too.But no one is giving me proper solution for my knee swelling.and have pain on lateral side of the knee.Its there for almost 5 months,so that I asked your opinion.

[@WoodJohnny]

Dr. Jo, your videos are so helpful! fyi - the link to the pdf says it is $3.99 but it came up as $4.99 in PayPal. No worries, but you may want to correct the price shown.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thank you! Oh no, you are right. Sorry about that, we have changed it. Since you pointed it out, would you like a free worksheet, or a $1 refund for your worksheet?

[@WoodJohnny]

@@AskDoctorJo That's very nice of you but it's really not necessary.

[@IvanBFit]

Hi Dr. Jo. I have a question. I got an x-ray on my right knee and it came back showing nothing significant. Basically normal. However, my right knee gets fatigued, feels rubbery/hollow sometimes and it has buckled slightly in the past, but no pain. I've been wearing an open patella neoprene knee brace for support and that helps. I find it deloads it and allows active rest/recovery. I have mild genu varum and the x-ray showed the Q-angle was a little greater on right side. I just did a tape measure on my mid-patella and my right is 1/2 inch bigger at 14 inches and my right is 13.5 inches. Is this clinically significant or relevant? I couldn't find any norms online.

[@AskDoctorJo]

It could be a meniscus issue. Unfortunately, that won't show up in an x-ray. Do you get any catching, popping, or clicking?

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for sharing this video

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome.

[@waltery5582]

Hi doctor Jo, 72 yo male, not much of knee pain, just not flexible enough, your toughs on what type of exercises or stretching, equipment and medicine (sometimes I take meloxican 7.5 mg) would you recommend. thank you in advanced.

[@AskDoctorJo]

These might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZizp5yFnrmjY5o As far as equipment, a stretch strap (or something similar - belt, dog leash, jump rope), and maybe some resistive bands.

Hello Dr Jo. I am having my cast removed after six weeks in a cast next week from a broken ankle. What exercise will you suggest for me. Thank you ☺️

[@AskDoctorJo]

If you can go to physical therapy afterwards, that is really the best option. In the meantime, as long as your doctor clears you, these might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3fQe394oaefhLc Slowly progress into them though, and I wouldn't recommend doing the standing ones right away.

[@krinz86]

Hi thanks started these exercises y'day, going great so far! I am getting a popping sound on my knee when doing the stair exercises, that's normal?

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. Popping is not uncommon if you've had an injury or a kneecap tracking issue.

[@krinz86]

@@AskDoctorJo yes had a ligament tear last year

[@AskDoctorJo]

As long as it's not painful, it could just be scar tissue or general weakness. Hopefully with some consistent stretches and exercises it will stop popping.

[@JasmeetKLamba]

Hi Dr.Jo , I have little cracking/popping sound in my right knee with no pain Will these exercises help me get rid of the cracking ?

[@AskDoctorJo]

They might. It really depends on what is causing the cracking. Good luck.

Is it wise to do these with diminishing cartilage? Weight on my knees make things quite difficult.

[@AskDoctorJo]

I wouldn't recommend them without talking with your doctor. Since I can't evaluate you in person, I don't really know. Good luck.

[@aq4572]

Will these excercises work for grade2 osteoarthritis of knees? plz reply

[@AskDoctorJo]

In general, they should help. Unfortunately, I don't know if they will specifically help you since I can't evaluate you.

[@minhahania1941]

Hii doctor I love ua videos my mom having issue of RA since 3 years she started ur excersise from yesterday but she is getting pains and she is feeling tired ... Is that because she is doing first time excersise?

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks. Yes, most likely it's just from starting exercises. She needs to slowly progress into them. Good luck.

[@minhahania1941]

AskDoctorJo thanks for ur reply:) u mean because of she started newly her excersise she may get tired ness and pains after doing it...

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. Yes, that is pretty common when starting exercises you haven't done before.

[@suzannadunn4337]

My knee hurts really bad. It hurts more with dance. The pain is on the inner side of my left knee. What can I do to relieve the pain? It hurts alot. Sometimes it feels like its pinching from the inside. At times its extreme pressure or something.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Unfortunately, that could be a number of things. Is there any way you can go see a physical therapist for an evaluation?

[@suzannadunn4337]

@@AskDoctorJo I dont have insurance right now. Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate you. I watched a few videos about what it could be. Sounds like fat pat irritation so that's how I started treating it. I tapped it. I am doing things to strengthen the muscles surrounding the area. I have been icing as much as I can. I can now move my knee cap from side to side. I couldn't before. I have been using the strap. I lay on my belly and pull gently and comfortably until I cant pull anymore. What else can I do? O! I also take potassium, magnesium and ibuprofen but I still have lots of pain/irritation and sometimes pinching. It feels the most relief when I lay on my belly.

[@AskDoctorJo]

we can do this exercise for the meniscus tear also?

[@AskDoctorJo]

As long as it doesn't increase the pain.

[@bullshtman447]

Hi dr Jo ☺ How often do you recommend doing these exercises to strengthen my weak knee?

[@AskDoctorJo]

You can do them 1-2 times a day. Good luck!

[@bullshtman447]

+AskDoctorJo Thanks for replying so fast! Can I do this alongside my other exercises? I have started doing deadlifts once a week, and walking with weight once a week..
