I have both OS and multiple inner meniscus tears in my left knee diagnosed when I was 62 two years ago and was told the tears are old age degeneration since I didn't have any kind of accident. Luckily no loose fragments to give me pain, I just have some discomfort. Orthro doc told me any pain is most likely from the OS. Contrary to the video title when I bed down I need to have my knee bent - I'd prefer it straight since that's how I used to start off sleeping - but if I do, the knee becomes painful and wakes me up. Thank you so much for including your other videos on meniscus as I do want to learn more on what I can do to make my knee more comfortable and less inflamed. I saw you did that for people with hip issues too and I forwarded that video to a relative. Your explanations and advice are so helpful and I've been doing the "butt walk" for some time now and I think it has helped.

We have reached the moon We have explored the depths of the ocean We have heart, liver transplants We can restore blindness Yet, we can't make artificial meniscus!?! We can but we won't... Then the whole knee transplant industry will collapse :((

Hello, I am having a lot of pain in my knee I have had an ex ray and an MRI and it states that I have minimal osteoarthritis of the patellofemoral joint and minimal osseous lipping of the medial compartment. The doctors are not really helping me and I am in constant pain. I was on prednisone for 5 days the swelling went down and meloxicam for the pain. However a week later the pain returned. Achy when attempting to sit or stand. I first experienced it after working out on Feb 25, 2023 and have not healed yet. Is there any suggestions you could provide. The orthopedic surgeon stated that since it’s unremarkable all he could do is recommend physical therapy 😢I want to walk normal again, please help

Why do knees swell?

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 8 ай бұрын

Hey James! Thank you for your question! Swelling is a natural mechanism by which there is thickening in the joint capsule that causes fluid to be overproduced and retained. In order to prevent or improve on this symptom, one must understand the importance of proper rest, exercise and joint offloading strategies. Here is a playlist with all of our videos on strategies to help with knee swelling: “Knee Swelling Help” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mb17SwpI5eM0Uca2qvg7gsC
