Thank you for your info. I am an old girl(79) and both my knees give a little sign of something. My right knee got injured 25 years ago and some years after that it triggered arthritis, so its often swollen at the left side. My left knee has a swelling on top of the ligament. (We call it here (netherlands) a boys knee..) I treat both knees with heat and cold, rest , higher up etc, at least lately. But I also sit a lot on my knees. Gardening and working on the floor, because I am an artist and like working on the floor instead of a table). I am more careful with that now, because I noticed my knees don’t like it to much anymore. Also, since a couple of years Squads are hard to do. Weak knees, weak muscles. I believe it is possible to improve my legs and knees. Could you give me some advise? Thank you too for the 12 walking tips. Great help for my legs, hips, ankles and knees even shoulders and neck. Greetings fro Holland, Iris

Good stuff. I am 65 and have had several incidences of swollen knee. Happened a few days ago. Typically swells up after my run where I may have gone down a steep hill or non level ground. Seems to be the trigger for me. I complete my run with no problem and then a hour or so later I get a swelling. After a day or so the swelling reaches a peak and I am immobile. Typically weakness, sharp pains etc. After 3 -4 days of painkillers, ice and strapping I can walk slowly but still in mild pain. In the past it has taken many many weeks before getting active again. I am trying to do gentle leg strengthening exercise, but I definitely seem to have a weakness that affects my stability on rough ground. I never got this when younger but getting older I am going from one injury to another.

The arthritic pain is not a cute enough for a knee replacement and again I'm not up for surgery let alone a scope but I have my leg elevated I got on a bicycle station or just to see if I can move it and I can I can flex and extend my toes. I've been icing but I haven't been able to get the swelling down enough yet trying to get more focused and rest

Hi, I'm a 52 yr old female who gave up competitive tennis when I had a lateral meniscus tear diagnosed over a year ago. In that time, I've had a steroid injection, a prp injection and I've worked hard to build my quads, glutes and hips in order to take the strain off my knee. I'm still keen to avoid surgery, but still in pain. I'm starting to lose faith! Do you think additional prp would be useful? Also, would you be able to do a video of a variety of rehab exercises for meniscus recovery? Your videos are inspirational and I need some inspiration right now! Thank you!

@vickymcaffer649 7 ай бұрын

@skeet0rz sorry you're having knee issues too. Your age is in your favour as you may have more options. Mine is a degenerative tear and after another consultation this week, I'm going to do more prp plus keep going with the physio. Although I can't play tennis atm, I'm off to Malaga to watch the Davis Cup finals at the weekend, so it'snot all bad!! ! Good luck getting sorted and definitely chat about prp with your doctor.
