I have had knee osteoarthritis since 2006. I had physiotherapy to get the swelling down. My orthopaedic doctor advised exercises to strengthen all the muscles that support the knees. I do them daily and have been pain free. I even go trekking in the mountains. I am 75 years old.

My right knee was stage 4 arthritis I built my quad muscles up with a knee extension machine and started walking lost weight and took cod liver oil pills and I'm walking normal again knee will never be 100% but hey I'm take 85% anyday

[davidmayhew]

Walking always makes my symptoms worse!

[lorridzak]

My ortho told me (after two scopes) that this was just my life since I was 40 years old and 100 pounds over weight. I left really mad and insulted and then when I lost 80 pounds three years later and my knees felt great I knew he was right. It’s hard to hear for sure. I heard every pound of weight is four pounds of pressure on your knees.

[sheilabolick]

Water exercise is the only thing I CAN do.

[brendieb]

This is my first time listening to you both & I’m enjoying hearing all these things. I have osteoporosis throughout my body. I wear special footwear. I have lost 20 pounds & my A1C 6.5 finally came down… I would just like to get rid of the pain. Thank you for all the ideas

I developed daily stabbing pain in One knee (OA). I am 68 6-3, 185lbs (slim) A couple weeks went by and then my Walmart $60 one- size-fits-all D width Chinese boots fell apart. I just happened to have a pair of Redwing hightop hiking boots that i had paid $150 20yrs ago. My feet fit a size 12 and are a Narrow A. These USA made quality boots were not only 12 but also narrow A. A day after wearing these Redwings my knee pain dropped 90%! I never thought quality shoes could make such a difference but it has, thank God.😀 (No I have no affiliation to Redwing)

Best thing for my knee was your recommendation to straighten my leg to loosen the knee cap, the massaging the heck out of it. It felt amazingly better the next day, but took a few weeks of doing it to maintain the better feel. But now I only have to massage it every now and then and usually only if I do something more strenuous than normal. I know the causes are different for everyone, but it's been amazing to me that this fixed mine so easily. Thanks again!

Time after time over the years, doctors have insisted that I should use ice packs for chronic daily headaches and any kind of joint pain (back, hips, knees, etc.) but it takes my pain from miserable to practically unbearable. Only a heating pad helps!

[tomwolfe]

Diet change has worked for me, I have stopped eating nightshades, gluten, white rice and white pain disappeared!

[missysoaps]

I am glad your wife is walking again, Bob ! Great video Bob and Brad !!

I had pain on my left knee due to bone spurs (osteoarthritis) so bad that the only thing that really helped was going to the pool for water therapy. It was the only way that I was able to get my knee moving without feeling severe pain. I did it for one month 3-4 times a week along with some stretching and strengthening exercises I did on my own. I found that it made a huge difference and was able to manage my pain. Now I am able to do the land exercises without pain. Before having done the water therapy, my body compensated for the knee pain and caused all sorts of imbalances creating more pain in other parts of my body such as my back. So I definitely think that water therapy is crucial initially.

I had severe pain from oa in my right hip, and a bad limp. A rheumatologist wanted to send me for a hip replacement. Said I would definitely need one within 5 years. I told him that I had started taking glucosamine and wanted to see if it worked. Within a week, I was pain free in all normal activities, sitting, standing, walking. I could sprint to catch a bus with no pain. My limp was gone. This worked for 15 years, from 2000 to 2015. I then started to become active in sports again and my pain returned. The glucosamine was no longer effective, but I had a great run of 15 years. Then I got a hip resurfacing which preserves the hip bone. Not all brands of glucosamine are effective. A cheap $10 brand is unlikely to work. Glucosamine is a large molecule. To absorb it in the joint requires a special formulation. Not all products are well-absorbed. I used a number of different brands over this period of time. Some would work for a few years, then stop working. I switched a number of times. It's necessary to experiment.

i've been subscribed for some time now and haven't seen a video in a month or two and holy cow! You have sponsors, better editing, and headsets now!?!? Happy for you guys!

I have osteoarthritis in both knees for the last seven years or so. I used to be about 285 pounds. I have gotten down to 230 pounds. That has helped tremendously. I did that .by cycling. I now do rides that are minimum 35 to 50 miles each time. It does NOT hurt my knees the least little bit on those rides. But if I walk a half a mile, my knees hurt. Getting orthoscopic surgery to clean out my knee did nothing. Aleve helps a little bit. Tramadol helps a little bit. I think I'm at the point where I can take the pain that I have. I'm going to try to lose more weight so I can put off knee replacement as long as I can. I just wish we were a lot further along with knee osteoarthritis treatments than we are. It just seems like everything is old technology and that nothing new is making any really good headway. But, thank God I can cycle to get exercise. Because I surely can't hike like I used to or walk long distances.

[tinabrickley]

I find that with the knee pain from osteoarthritis it is hard for me to walk very long but exercising in the water is much less painful. Also, I do stationary bike and don't feel pain while doing it but afterward can have knee pain walking. I am scheduled to have hylauronic acid injection and am hopeful it will help ease the pain and allow me to exercise more. I would like to hear you two discuss various types of knee injections.

[leezardo]

I wonder why injections were not covered? Or are those primarily for injuries? I have mild arthritis along with both meniscus torn horizontally. The pain was through the roof until the cortisone shot. Now I can walk and strengthen with weight bearing exercise... until the shot wears off!

[fatjuniesfarmette]

Arthroscopic surgery gave me tremendous relief, which has lasted for years now.

[gayemisurec]

I had fat pad impingement in both knees and ran on a treadmill under water and have been ever since...game changer! I do also walk on land now!😎

[kathyharman]

thanks, you made me laugh and that helps the pain. Kathy
