This is a great resource. I can’t imagine how long it took to make it. Thanks for the great information and I’ll definitely be referring people to this video!

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I have arthritis in my knees as well as in many other places in my body. I'm finally seeing an orthopedist and the information you provided is really useful for me to bring into my discussions with the doctor. Thank you so much!

dr. Peng, I just want to say a big thank you for all these info! As a scrub I was able to discuss this topic with Orto surgeons and where not aware for some of these info.. I actually suffer with knee problems after two ACL repair and soon as I over do (10-12K steps) it’s flare up.. My experience icing , turmeric paste ( self made) and tumaric supplement along with red light therapy and cabbage wrap is very helpful. I do specific exercises to strengthen gluten and other muscles and after that either ice or cabbage wrap is the most helpful. I do believe the PRP treatment a good option. I had for lower back pain and worked very well . Thank you again for your hard work !

Appreciate the effort you put into this

Excellent and thorough video. Good advice - especially first establishing a healthy diet, strength exercises, and weight loss before resorting to knee replacement surgery.

Impressive knowledge. Thanks for sharing the information with us.❤

Very informative and detailed!

Thank you so much for this extensive study. Comprehensive. For me the long format was ok, because I watched it over 2 sessions.

Glad it was helpful!

How about knee decompression I have had acl mcl and meniscus tear 45 years ago. Was able to walk a couple of miles for years. Suddenly about a year and a half ago I developed a lot of pain and could only get around with a cane. Took physical therapy for 6 weeks. Definitely helped the strength in the muscles but was still needing a cane.Than after about the same period of time as we speak to today I've been doing leg swings using 10 lbs ankle weights.rsults have been I've been able to walk with out a cane and considerable reduced pain. Have not been able to get back to long walks but I'm able to ride exercise bike for 30 minutes under light loads

Appreciate the very objective description of the various options for treatment as well as the overall interaction of other influences on inflammation. This all will help my approach moving forward as I have been dealing with knee issues for 25 years and have had many of the treatments you mentioned in the video. I'm really trying to avoid a TKR.

Wow thank you for such clear and use information.You are the best and provided me with such comprehensive informative information. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for such comprehensive explanations and the downloadable material. I am a 59 year old with practically no cartilage left in both knees and a torn meniscus in one knee. I have severe pain most days, exercise does help but I have to gauge how much is too much. Working has become a nightmare, as obviously being on my legs for long shifts, with little chance of sitting, is pretty much hell and wipes me out for the next day. I really can't see me working up to my retirement age. I am currently receiving steroid injections and strong analgesia, so having every treatment evaluated is invaluable.

Weight loss and yoga exercises helped me a lot

I'm from New York. Any good doctor or hospital you can recommend me to go visit? I'm 74n meniscuis tore seriously. One doctor not explained anything but just suggest me to get PRP injections. The other doctor told me that as long as insurance company not cover. He doesn't believe n he even suggest me to change completely replacrment instead of half. I only had inner meniscuis torn. That made me so scared. At the moment. I'm doing rehab exercises. Thanks Gad. After 45days The inflammation and swelling finally had gone. Now I can bend my knee.

"Is the recovery period after PRP injection linear, or can it have ups and downs? I received the PRP injection three weeks ago, and now I am experiencing pain near the patella in both of my knees, including the one that was not previously experiencing pain."

Very nice! Is the table available for download?? Thanks for this info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many places offer PRP injections, but their procedures vary widely. Some offer one injection, and some offer three. But what about the dosage or number of platelets in the injection? Is there data showing the effectiveness of various doses? How do we know what we're getting?

Great info. I am treating with gel injections, cold-laser therapy, shockwave therapy and PT along with collagen supplements to prevent getting a knee replacement. You should advise that any injection be done with ultrasound imaging so the medicine gets in the knee joint.

This is the short form. I've spent probably 100 times this 1 hour trying to find this information. If you can't spend 1.25 hours getting educated, then go ahead and get the surgery, knowing there's a 1 in 4 chance you won't be happy with the outcome. I've spent 9 years hunting for these alternatives to surgery and this is the first time I've heard several of these. Surgeons make way too much with a surgery to recommend alternatives. Pharmaceuticals make way too much to recommend alternatives. I've had my knee replaced twice now and I've regained 100% flexibility each time. Still a poor outcome.

I get shots. I will continue. I have been keeping ahead of knee replacement. The shots keep me going. Meds keep changing their minds on what works. Gel shots do nothing for me. I am bone on bone. I have a torn meniscus. Let’s face it how much can these shots hurt me. As long as they work, I will continue on. Surgery is my last resort.
