[@ONEJOURNEYONESTORY]

I discovered this video a little late. Last week, I had a sudden tightness/pain behind my left knee. I thought I was having a new onset of DVT and had to do an US and D-dimer. Both turned out to be neg. My PT told me exactly what you're saying here in your video. The exercises my PT recommended are the same ones in your video. You're right on but just better since you explained it much clearer and easier to understand. Great work!! Thanks

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you for the feedback on the value of the explanation! I love to hear from the KZbin channel community.

[@Leov2g]

Alyssa...Thank you for helping me with my arthritis pain in my knees and feet. I had a Lapisplasty a year ago and I still don't feel very strong. I saw your videos and you have made a BIG difference in my mobilty. I will continue to do your videos. My internist will be happy to hear you helped me.

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome! Thanks for the support of the channel.

[@LyudmilaOsipova]

Hi Alyssa, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹After watching your videos I just put a chair in front of TV and pace around for many hours, raising my legs/ hips as high as I can….. it made a difference …… after suffering for many years due to failed foot surgeries , that led to frozen big toe joints and shortening of metatarsals. The truth is Everything starts with hips and thousands of small steps convert to better walking-- you’re AWESOME!

[@arthritisadventure]

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! and thank you for the kind words! Keep up your commitment to this journey.

After complete knee replacement what is the best way to build strength. I sometimes struggle lifting my knee over say a baby gate or feel stiffness. I go to the gym and do leg presses and and the incumbent bike . Any additional advice is greatly appreciated have a blessed day 😁

[@deborahcandland9861]

Watch El Paso Manual Physical Therapy knee videos. Have a whole program for recovery after replacement Therapy provides less then needed results.

[@leilabanadero4304]

You're welcome!

[@bryantbailey8906]

Thank you for this video. I had a problem with my knee locking that started when I was about 13 and first happened when I was playing catcher in baseball. It locked and the pain was Extreme! It didn’t last long and eventually released. However it continued to happen and got worse over time. Unfortunately my daughter now experiences this in her knee and has it worse than me. The last time her knee locked for about 5 hrs and wouldn’t release even though I tried massaging the pop muscle . She’s now off at college and she’s desperately trying to find someone to manage this. I think your stretches make sense. Anything else you’d recommend?

[@arthritisadventure]

It really depends on why it’s happening- locking could be knee instability, meniscus involvement, ligament involvement, hypermobility, etc.

[@geetaprasad4772]

Thank you , Alyssa.

[@arthritisadventure]

You're welcome!

[@debbiejohnson7758]

I recently discovered you on fb and now here!! This is exactly the type of exercise I've been searching for!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!! Liked and subscribed of course!! ❤❤❤

[@NkworIsioma-fo9ck]

Please what about a situation you cannot stand up because the knees are bent and tight can't straight at all, what exercise will one do?

[@natashaj4113]

That sounds like hamstrings to me - that’s what happened when I pulled my hamstring

[@Salmanturk10]

Great excersice 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@eswarikamireddy260]

Amazing explanation which I am looking for since years. But can you share any symptoms associated with? My knee under tightness but the patella bone rightside gets tighten always moving the knee inside.

[@baaadddmannn]

I just fell from sharp pain in back of my right knee, after x-rays, said there is joint effusion and change along lateral patellar facet which appears chronic, I haven't been back to my PCP since x-rays, I value any input you can give me, MRI was suggested, but not sure I want to go there, hope you just had great holiday, and have a good month of September in which I will turn 75 years young. that might help any advice you can give me, love your videos and style, favorite video, is 11 excercises for balance to the several times a week. tell my PCP every time I see her, and tell you the same thing, Alyssa you are " THE BEST".....

[@baaadddmannn]

the help your videos give its viewers is simply........valuable beyond measure.......

[@baaadddmannn]

Alyssa, recently hurt right knee, behind knee pain, using your exercies helping my leg and knee regain its strength and range of motion......... most important PAIN FREE, I do have some discomfort and have left leg inuries before, that take months to heal, so healing process has just begun for my right knee. Your words come back to haunt me, jajajajajaja, not realy remind me, Don't be in hurry to hurt yourself, take you time start slow and increase the intensity, this is journey not a race.❤❤❤

You are so welcome!

[@briennehennessy8040]

Thank you so much!! I’ve been doing the trad stretches you referenced yet felt there was more available and this feels way better. Will these also help knee pain along the medial side of the knee?

[@arthritisadventure]

Knee pain on the medial side can be commonly due to hip weakness. It can also be secondary to loss of mobility which can happen with back of knee pain.

[@poonamghai6260]

Thanks for these exercises. Also my pain from the left knee goes to the bone towards my feet. What can I do

[@gregkuhn7123]

Exactly what I have going on now due to osteoarthritis. Now it makes sense why stretching doesn't really help. Would the exercises in the '5 exercises to STRENGTHEN arthritic knees WITHOUT more pain', video be a good follow up to these?

[@arthritisadventure]

Yep. That could be a good next step!

Best of luck with it!

[@randyletourneau3430]

I have arthritis (both Osteo & RA). I am 64 but started CrossFit 6 years ago. I did most of the exercises just at lower weights than younger 90men. This past year my osteo has really gotten worse, and I started to get some pain, and what felt like swelling behind the knee. I have found stretching helps fend off this issue. My PCP has told me to stay away from lunges and never squat more than 90 degrees. Is this solid advice, or should I keep trying to get stronger by doing lunges and deep squats?

[@sparrow4313]

Alyssa, what kind of shoes are you wearing? They look great. Also, I love your content. You did one on ankles and feet that I’ve been looking for for a while. I still can’t find it.

[@arthritisadventure]

They are Kuru shoes. You can see them here. kurufootwear.sjv.io/qnBZ35. Glad you liked the content! Here was a video on foot pain I had. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3Sck6CjoNaNl9U You can search other videos on the channel.

[@nathmahendranath4075]

I recently had TKR on left leg (Aug 2) and I am not able to do the first exercise- cannot raise the leg like you show on the first exercise? Should I wait for further time for healing before attempting?

[@bassman3212]

How long after doing heel lifts before you see results?

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

Do you have a video regarding cramping in the back of thighs. I have such terrible cramping and muscle spasms in the back of my thighs it’s hard for me to even do any exercise with the leg bending. I’m sure it has something to do with me not getting as much physical activity as I have in the past and I would like to work on it and fix it thank you

[@VLombardi01]

Is it normal to feel more pain there while waking then running? I’m experiencing that However the pain happens a few hours after the run and feels better the next day. I’ve tried that first exercise you demonstrated before seeing this video and it works but I don’t know if the pain is coming from my arthritis or something else.

[@colouredeye9775]

These may help when your pain reduced. But what if your knee paining too much , acute n not able to bend enough to take a step. Pl help
