Guest guest Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I've met people who were scheduled for knee replacement surgery cancel their appointments once they started doing the stretching exercise explained in the Pete Egoscue book " Pain Free " . What is happening is that the wrong muscles are being used to support your knees, hence the pain. Once you train your body through these simple stretches to start using the correct muscles again, the pain stops. Even though doctors will tell you that the cartilage is destroyed, or ligaments torn, that it's bone on bone, or whatever, using the correct muscles takes care of all support issues and thereby relieves pain. That book will explain everything. Samala, Renee ---- I am new to this group. The last nine months I am suddenly struck with Severe knee pain. The Dr says I have worn out the cartilage but I had No for warning. Aside from a total knee replacement (which is what Dr's are suggesting, does anyone have any alternotives I might try?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 My mother used 1 tsp gelatine in warm water per day and her knees that were really painful because of worn out cartilidge, soon became almost pain free. Apparently gelatine is the product that glaucosamine is derived from, but it is so much more cheaper using the gelatine. all the best Diana Moore http://www.bowentherapy.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Dinah, I would suggest you do yoga. More specifically, Hatha Yoga. I was diagnosed with knee problems in school and the hospital said it disappear after one year. That was 13 years ago and nothing changed. Find a good yoga master, and let him/her observe your progress. A good instructor will take you a long way. Hope you get well.

The end result is that the shin bone moves forward over the ankle joint causing an outward rotation of the leg, which then puts severe strain on the hip and especially the knee joint causing it to run out of true. You need to realign the structure of the body and reposition the ankle joint. An holistic Osteopath or Chiropractor can do this, or contact me and I can email you, or anyone else, exercises to do this, but it takes longer with the exercises. The exercises are complimentary.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Dinah! Dede here! I had knee surgery in January - for removal of a piece of cartilage that had broken loose and was causing excruciating pain (like someone was stabbing an ice up my femur!) First time pain has made me feel nauseous. Arthoscopically, the removed that " loose body " (as they called it) and cleaned up frayed areas of my patella and femur. About two weeks after I started six weeks of physical therapy. Things felt great - after four months the doc released me saying " don't over do it " . I went right home, started gardening and ... yep, over did it. I started on the glucosamine/chondrointin stuff before surgery and never felt anything different. Probably because I did not take it consistently three times a day - or maybe the stuff I took wasn't some of the " good stuff " , which is really expensive. I got on the net and found someone who each morning stirred a packet of Knox Gelatin (found in the grocery store next to Jello) in about 4 ounces of orange juice - she said her knee was better in 24 hours. I thought " what the heck? " Plus, it's really inexpensive. So I toodled on down and got some Knox Gelatin. Next morning I mixed it in orange juice and drank it. The following morning when I woke up I had NO pain! Seriously! I continue taking it to this day. If I am more active than usual I take it also in the evening (some people have to take it twice a day for it to work on them). I've also started yoga (for seniors) - it's Hatha. After two sessions my knee feels stronger. I was very hesitant about yoga because the physical therapist said I couldn't do it. But I'd run out of things interesting ... I can't treadmill any more. I've learned yoga is a very healing practice. Any way, try the Knox Gelatin. I works for a lot of people. If it doesn't work for you, you can make some Tomato Aspic or something out of it. But try at least 4 doses before you give up. Dede , " River of Karma " <riverofkarma wrote: > > Hi Dinah, > I would suggest you do yoga.
