I have suddenly bone on bone in both knees
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
I have a questions....arthritis was what did my knees in as well and there wasn't much space left between the bones. For about a month I did the exercises given and I was very active doing aquafit 2-3 times a week. I did not have the robotic but had a really good surgeon. Although I'm doing most everything I did prior (except aqua) I still have lots of pain and stiffness later in the evening. I feel best wearing jeans because of the compression from them. I do stretching, riding my bike, lots of walking yet still have stiffness and soreness. Dr. says everything is good. I'm a 62 year old female and so want this soreness to be gone and I"m over a year out. PT has said I need to learn to pace myself and I may always have this soreness. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cindy and my apologies for such a late reply. I take it you had one or both knees replaced.
I think aqua workouts, like aqua aerobics classes, would be helpful and not cause pain. I spin 5x/week and haven't had any problems.
I'd also get a second opinion from another knee surgeon. There has to be a reason for the pain.
Finally, I suggest always using ice on the knee and never heat. Ice reduces inflammation and pain. Heat feels good but brings a rush of blood and inflammation into the joint.
I hope things are better.

I had surgery for a ulnar nerve compression in my elbow years ago.
The surgery relieved my nerve issues however I experienced pain in the elbow that got worse as time went by. (10+ years) I was getting atrophy and losing strength from the inability to use my arm.
I learned of an injection called Ozone therapy and after a long period of consideration and research decided to give it a try. The result was nothing short of miraculous. If I were in your situation I would not hesitate to give it a try on my knee.
