How bad was your chondromalacia? 50% damage or 20%? Or 90%? Did you try msm and vitamin C?

I was in a state that didn't allow me to stand for a long time. Msm I still take it now and then, and vitamin C. But these were for other reasons initially. In my opinion, there is nothing better than bone broth boiled FOR 6-12 hours.Pure collagen, medicine for our joints.Stay optimistic,our body regenerates.

​@@alinagavris363816 months seems like really long. How can we even avoid world for 1 to 2 year? If we have to use the legs then the cartilage may degenerate even more right?

​@@alinagavris3638 do you think msm and vitamin c helped? I do not use bone broth but i eat the bones directly. The bone marrow and the bones. Same thing right?

it's a hard period, but in order for it to pass, you have to give it time to heal and take care of yourself as much as possible. I've been doing sports for 16 years.. I had to change my routine

@Mspea how long have you had chondromalecia and how long have you been symptom free?

Can I continue to run long distance ( marathons ) with a diagnoses of chondramalatia?

Hi Jilis, If gentle stretching feels as if it brings relief and it feels good to do it should be fine however if you are dealing with knee pain you want be very careful with your movements.

Hi Johnny, we're so sorry to hear that you're dealing with knee pain. We can understand how frustrating it must be not knowing the exact cause, which makes it harder to address. Since we can’t perform an evaluation ourselves, we wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the exact issue, as knee pain can have various causes. We strongly encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider about the pain you’re experiencing and the difficulties you have when walking. It’s important to advocate for yourself, especially since some healthcare providers may not always dig deeper unless you ask specific questions. When you meet with them, consider requesting an MRI or X-ray and express that you want to understand the cause of your knee pain. Generally, knee pain can often be linked to muscle imbalances, particularly in the glutes. Strengthening your glutes can help relieve pressure on the knee joint, potentially reducing pain. We have a general knee pain help playlist that you might find useful. You can access it here: “Knee Pain Exercises, Stretches, Advice, & Tips Playlist” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mY02hvFckRQO55HfAqDtWrM Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope you found this information helpful. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you

Hey @r4vendik, this sounds like you might have a coordination problem. If you have good glute strength, and you’re not in an imbalance, then it would most likely be the problem that you are not using your glutes properly when you walk. It’s possible to put too much pressure on your knee cap cartilage if you are not using your glutes well during walking and other normal activities. You might need to spend some time really analyzing your walking pattern. This playlist might help you learn more so that you can pinpoint the problem: “Walking & Stairs Advice For Painful Knees, Hips, And Ankles” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mZqQdy7MnE2Q1H_Xfgxi5zH

Hey reena!!

Read the above comment. Bovine collagen does wonders. Take that with good diet n don't do exercises just normal activity with open patella sleeve/ brace on

@@clifftonist thanks a lot 🙏

How is your knee right now? I am having the same problem, just curious about your situation

Hey Joshua! These are both great questions. For your first question it honestly just depends on you, the results vary per person. More specifically, it really depends on how well and how consistent you are in doing the exercises. It is not uncommon for you to start feeling better after just a couple of weeks but can't say for certain as we don't know your situation. As for your second question - you should exclusively focus on only doing exercises that strengthen the glutes and help with desensitize the knee. Therefore, it is advised that you avoid doing quad exercises until you've seen significant improvements these will be further along your journey. Keep in mind that this might take longer than desired.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks was thinking of doing lateral walks with a band, hip abduction, clamshell and glute bridges every other day till it feels better.

How are you feeling now?

Hi Vida, It can be as you can over-stretch and if you aren't being instructed correctly it can cause more damage. It is best to try to strengthen around surrounding area, starting with the glutes.

Thanks so much@@epmanualphysicaltherapy

Hey @twinklingstars705, sorry to hear that you were in a bike accident :-( But we're so happy you're alive and healing!!! 🙏 Swelling with fluid often happens during the healing stages. You've got to make sure not to be too active because your body will create more swelling and fluid. It's likely your body's response to activity you're putting yourself through. There's a chance something may be going on with your kidneys if the swelling is all over your body. Be sure to check with your doctor about the swelling to make sure it's not something serious.

Thank you for your reply sir.I will consult my family doctor sir.

Hi Suhasin, We are delighted that you paid special attention to your glutes during your walk! 🎉Excellent work! It's not uncommon to experience mild discomfort, but it's essential to consider how you were feeling before your walk. If you had pain before your walk and it has improved, that is entirely normal. However, if you were pain-free before the walk, it's crucial to monitor any new pain. If the pain starts to worsen, it's essential to halt all exercises until the pain subsides. Afterward, you can try incorporating glute-focused walking again, but with reduced intensity. If the pain persists, it's best to avoid any exercises involving the glutes for the time being. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee cap pain. You can check it out here: "Knee Cap Pain Help" kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mYRotMXuS6F94UZkGAIxsb2 If you happen to be looking for a comprehensive way to recover from chondromalacia patella issues we do have a 28-Day Knee Health and Wellness Boost program that would be helpful.
