The 11 Worst Activities That Make Knee Arthritis More Painful

Рет қаралды 827,676

Knee arthritis responds very well to the right and the wrong activities. If you hurt, get more stiff, or swell more in your knees, then you’re certainly doing something that is going to make your knee arthritis worse in the long run.
It gets very confusing for people when they’re told by medical professionals to do certain activities even though it hurts to do it. People often suck it up and grit through the pain and worse knee symptoms.
The reason these activities are often recommended by healthcare professionals is because for some people at certain times, they might actually help…but they could also be disastrous when done at the wrong time for the wrong person.
Knowing who needs the right exercises, knee arthritis treatment, and what activity is really a specialty that not many healthcare experts have. And they’re doing the best they can with what they know.
In this video, Dr. David tells you the 11 worst activities that make knee arthritis more painful.

In 2014 I jumped off the back of my work truck, a height of about 6ft. I'd done this many times b4, but this time my Knees buckled & I laid grimacing. To cut a long story short, my Orthopaedic Surgeon,highly recommended I have a double hip & double knee replacement, but I declined, opting to have my left meniscus removed instead! Eight years later, having adjusted my diet which includes daily intakes of Krill & vitamin K2 (M7) pills, exercising regularly, especially strengthening those Glutes, this 70yr old is still climbing ladders, doing all our own home maintenance work, pain free. I think I dodged a bullet! Thanks Dr David...I include many of your strategies👍

John Norms, good for you for having the courage to not have the surgery!! 👏👏👍. Surgery is not the answer to everything! I tore my Meniscus around 45 years ago and refused surgery and healed myself with vitamins, Physical Therapy, and massage. The Meniscus has not bothered me since then. I do have arthritis and pain only if I eat foods that’ll irritate it, otherwise I can walk around pain free like normal!!

WOW! Talk about “looks being deceiving,” I just started bicycling outdoors again, in an effort to strengthen my legs. & I was so happy to notice some nice definition forming in my quads. I took it as a sign that I’m getting stronger, doing something right. I had no idea it was a result of overworking my knees. Bummer. Happily, I discovered you & your awesome content. So, I’ll just have to start squeezing my butt when I ride, cuz I love riding my bike too much to give it up. I’m a senior & just getting back to riding on a regular basis after about a year & 1/2. So people are already looking at me sideways as I wabble down the sidewalk, getting my bearings. Wait til I start squeezing my glutes as I ride. That’s gonna be a sight. 🤣 Thanks very much for this crucial information, Dr. David.❤️🙏🏽😁

@user-fg1ns1pz1v 2 ай бұрын

I ride to alleviate my knees, 10-12 hours a week. Making sure I have my seat high takes pressure off the quad also think about your ankle rotation using the calf muscle more, this tends to use the back of my legs and glutes. Low seat is 100% quads, horrible. This works magic for me, if I go more than 2-3 days with no biking, my knees are painful. Good luck! Find what works for you.

100% agree about the power of the glutes... Not only for knee but even more so for lower back. Always shocks me how little emphasis there is to how important the glutes are. The only thing that concerns me whether or not I'm allowing my quads to weaken too much by emphasizing glutes so much...

Excellent review!! Great explanations. Thank you for emphasizing this critical issue. I've have talked to I'm blue in the face about one needs to be aware of muscle imbalances. One of the main reasons folks have poor posture with walking, sitting and increased joint issues in their hips, knees and ankles is poor activation & proper use of their gluteal muscles, weak abdominal &/or weak back muscles and inflexibility of their ankles. You can make your brain more aware of a muscle group you want to activate and use more by "gently" slapping that muscle - gluteal mm while you are about to exercise that gluteal mm. You see athletes doing this all the time. Your brain is powerful. IF you don't activate and properly use a muscle, then your brain will just sort of not think about activating and using that muscle. Also, one gluteal muscle = one butt cheek can be working, firing & in use more than the other butt cheek. One must work on waking up that butt cheek with more brain awareness; especially of a mild neuropathy or nerve disease or damage is causing one side of your leg & or butt cheek to be weaker than the other. Butt muscle use and strengthening is mentioned so often because it's one of the most important muscles in one's body BUT it's also one the most ignored muscle (both mentally & physically), in the body.

I'm currently recovering from miniscus surgery. Aside from huge amounts of physio and strength exercises, I walk. When I use my soft knee brace, my leg/knee feels alot more stable AND more importantly, isolates my Glutes.

Dr. David thank you for this! I’m 61 and this year I suddenly started having knee pain. I’ve always been active loved dancing, doing yoga. With this sudden pain I went to see my GP she has sent me to a orthopedic specialist and he told me I have a bit of arthritis in one knee more than the other. So PT it is he called it Core to bottom. Watching this video has completely acknowledged what I thought. I had worked out with a trainer when I was 36-40 and was in the best shape and continued with other exercises until this March of 2023 when I went to do yoga and my knees were in so much pain.

Thank you so much, Dr. David, this video has been so helpful. As I listended, I see where I was doing all the wrong things. I went tp a PT who strengthened my quads to steel strenght but I still had keen pain on steps and after walking a good distance. I did machines in the gym which set my knees on fire with pain worse. Of course when I didn't feel better, wasn't getting the results, I blamed myself. I understand clearly now what I need to avoid (all 11 of these activities.) and get my glutes stronger. Thank you again. Ps. the weight loss, looks good on you! I am sure you can feel the difference. I watched your video where you talked about diet and foods that can help the healing/health process.

I stretch everyday and I'm very flexible because I was a dancer even up into my 40s, I am 71 now. I have a wonderful chiropractor who rebuilt my entire body after I sustained many injuries from heavy lifting when I had large animals. I had anywhere from torn a torn rotator cuff and damaged desks. He is so good because he is gone way past Chiropractic and does so much other work on your body and has taught his kids who are now chiropractors to do the same. I have never felt comfortable doing the last stretch where you bend your leg backward and put your heel to your bottom. It's like my body just doesn't want to go there. Well, my chiropractor who is one of the sons told me I needed to do that stretch everyday to open up my knee. I see that I should not have done it because now I have lots of arthritis pain especially in my right knee and some in my left. At least it has shown me that I have arthritis so I can address the issue

What a great physio Dr. David is. These videos are pure gold. My PT has never given me these detailed recommendations. I already have one full replacement and one partial. Six years later the knee with the partial is killing me. (I am a very athletic 68 year old woman who races single handed sailboats, plays Pickleball, and loves to hike and bike.) Makes me sad that maybe I could have avoided them, but I am assuming that I can still strengthen myself now that I have found Dr. David. If you are listening Dr. David--do you have advice for folks who have already had replacements and want to get rid of and/or prevent pain? The surgeon is now recommending a hip replacement too but I am going to avoid it (hopefully_ using your suggestions. But does everything you say also apply to my knees with replacements? Please answer! And thank you for your service to all of us!

Oh, swimming!!! It's a very thing that aggravates my knee injury and set me back so much in my recovery!!! I wish someone has told me this. AND cycling! That was the very thing that put my knee to a severe injured state to start with 😪. And after all these, my physio told me to do knee extension excercise. Thank you Dr. !

Both my knees hate cycling (seated any cadence) I had quad pain and aching knee joints for 5+ years. One day I tried moving my seat all the way backwards and instead of pushing down on the pedals from 2-4 oclock, I now push forwards from 1-3 o'clock. Instantly knee pain 100% gone. I can now ride until my muscles fatigue and wake up with no pain at all

I've watched this video before & decided to see it again. I'm glad I did because it made me realize that the manner in which I get into bed either to go to sleep or if I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is probably this contraindicated stretching motion. Your information is a blessing. Sorry if my name icon comes up 2x. Some sort of computer glitch we don't know how to fix.

I was so excited when I saw this video after years of focusing on my quad excercises ever since I was diagnosed with bone on bone from an x-ray five years ago I've been managing the pain with icing hot, but Epsom baths and Tylenol but my liver enzymes I've got too high from the daily maximum dosage of Tylenol, so I was thrilled when I saw your because it gave me hope I did the glutes exercises and last night my knee pain was the worst it's ever been in five years kept me up all night. I hope you're not a quack, because that would be a horrible thing to give people with so much pain false hope.

I was using this glute muscle technique durig my trip around Tatra Mountains. So 3000 meters up & 300 km with bags, tent and chondromalacia patella levl I/II xddd I came up with idea of using quad muscle myself but i find your videos full of good ideas. They are very helpful for me, next week I will try back to running using consciously more glutes during down & uphills. Also my therapist has similar ideas. Anyway thanks for help and recomendaciones, you explain it very clearly.

you are really speaking to my experience!!! No one was listening. My upper thigh muscles are fine, strong and fit. My knees still hurt and do not get better. Walk with my glutes!!!! I have been instinctively headed in that direction, and feel validated. THANK you for the info about how to work the glutes on the stationary bike.

I have, just on my own , have been doing glute exercises…now I will search your videos and find the info on proper walking using glutes!

@epmanualphysicaltherapy Жыл бұрын

Hey Brenda! Using a bike will be helpful if you can get your glutes to work during the exercise. If you feel you are using your quads more than your glutes while using the bike, then you will likely make your knee problem worse :-( We have a great video on how to ride a bike with knee arthritis! “How To Use A Stationary Bike To Help Heal Knee Arthritis” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acydh9aC3dOZqGw.html Here is also a great video on how to walk using your glutes! “Does Walking Help Knee Pain?” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adqkqZlnztqdqGg.html “Walking & Stairs Advice For Painful Knees, Hips, And Ankles” kzfaq.info/sun/PLJVIPiFvv1mZqQdy7MnE2Q1H_Xfgxi5zH
