Great information. My knee has been swollen for awhile, but having no medical insurance, I cannot financially afford to see a specialist right now. Thank you so much...

Thank you for educating me about osteoarthritis, its symptoms, and the most effective pain relief techniques despite the disease's incurability.
Thank you for the good & clear explanation.
Thank you so much this video help me and it helps relax me because I’m worried so I don’t feel word anymore. Thank you so much.

very detailed explanation...thanks

Thank you for the information. I have arthritis in both of my knees. I hate going to the ER. i'll try this method. If the swelling does not go down, Im off to the ER. Great for sharing.
Great post very weii explained and most helpfull
Thanks, that was clear and helpful.

Thank you very much, you helped a lot!
Very informative information… thank you
Very very helpful video ❤
Good info, I cut my knee years ago with a saw and I've struggled alot with it but the swelling is a new symptom and just need to see what to do about it so I can get back to work
Thank you for the info 😊👍
This video really gave me clarity as to what may be the issue . Everything that was said really lines up with my issue. Feeling very confident arthritis is not my issue twisted my knee and had discomfort below knee (started with a twist in my left meniscus and as I continued to go about my day felt it in my right meniscus when pivoting ) that caused swelling to my upper knee a day or two later. Still have a little swelling lower of the knee cap on both side but not as much as above my knee cap . Can not put weight on my left knee and feel like knee if going to give out while attempting to limp about the house , very stiff with limited movement can not fully extend and can’t close my knee past 90 degree. Bring on the ice!
Very helpful thanks👍
Thank you so much! You are describing exactly what I am going through right now. My doctor couldn’t even give me these advices!

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
Thanks, very simple and functional without any extra talk.
Good straight forward informative vid..thx for the advise 🇺🇸👍❣

My neighbour suggested l had a Bakers cyst.

It comes and goes but my goodness does that pain down the inner side/ back of knee hurt like you can’t believe. I can’t currently get out to a doctor because of the pain. Thank you for caring for us mature people. Bless you from Brisbane.

I'm sorry to hear about your injury, at least it sounds like an interesting way that you got it! I hope my channel is able to provide some support for your recovery :)
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.

I find walking briskly and up and down hills is much better on the joints than running on hard surfaces. You still have the same benefits but none of the pain. It’s not realistic to expect your 60’s self to do the same thing as you did in your 20’s.

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!

@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.

Sorry to hear that. The only advice I can give is to get checked out by a healthcare professional in person.
I have lateral meniscus tear, PCL tear an ligament tears , Best thing to do to keep swelling down an not flaring up , ice ? How long Heat ? How long Compression ? How long and stay off it as much as possible?? My knee has minimal mobility atm , but maybe that is because of continues swelling I have a long 8 week wait to see a orthopaedic specialist need tips to comfort and get my knee the best recovery while at home waiting
Excellent KZread I'm 60 I'm having major problems with my knee I know there's torn cartilage I've had two scopes, and I feel like I'm at the point that I need a third but I'm physically not up to having a surgery right now I'm so rundown from trauma PTSD insomnia it's a horror story violent attack of the doctors in New York City and not this year but 10 years ago anyway it's really knocked me out being sick w/ Covid and now this. 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

What about a swollen knee 3 years after a knee replacement standing on it is the biggest cause it swells way more than before the replacement and it gets stiff. Yoga helps but if I'm on my feet an hour or two it will swell. Very huge. Doctors have nothing for me
I have an acute injury it's been 8 weeks since I banged my knee I have no pain until I kneel down because that's where the swelling is. Will the swelling ever leave by its self? I thought it would have healed by now with it being 8 weeks later
