ice has helped me a lot with the swelling
I was surprised he didn't mention it at all.
A complicated topic!! Fluid is ur body's way of bracing an unstable joint. It is a blessing and a curse. I'm bone on bone with bone spurs......constant swelling and stiffness..the structures around the knee are always hurting.
Great video! Thanks for posting!

It's two months I have swollen my knee
Thank you Dr David, i watched lots of UA-cam vedios regarding knee problems, thank God i found your program, it helps me understand, why me knees swells chronically. 😢😢, thank you for your expertise ❤❤❤
Hi Doctor - thanks for much for your great videos. I am 75 and I had meniscus tear surgery around 4 months ago and then had a ruptured bakers cyst. I still find my knee is really stiff and often swollen - maybe as you say I am trying to do too much exercise, mainly walking, bike and stretches. I will try some of these more gentle ones. Thanks for sharing.

hello! just found your channel today! currently lying in bed with a swollen knee. i dislocated it more than 10 years ago. i am a big fan of the crosstrainer due to it no impact workout. recently read about running on it backwards for a great knee workout. did it a few times, then my knee swoll right up. Don't recommend it to anyone with injured knees. I'm an Australian living in Sweden. Thankyou for your informative videos. 👍
from Canada. i definitely gave my knee too much of a stretch when i was swimming a couple of weeks ago. so this is helpful! Thank you.
Sorry to hear you over stretched your knee Jane :-(
We hope you get back to feeling better as fast as possible.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I have your tools to fix it now. Such an easy solution to swelling. I gotta get some of the wrap now to reuse. I am so relieved to find your channel. So many things at my fingertips to help remedy my pains. Blessings.
Dr Dave you have helped me more than my pt has and the Dr whose care I am under 😢. It has cost me a small out of pocket fortune. I am getting better advise from you than his team 😢. I have bad arthritis in both knees. Am following ur suggestion ❤. I found u by accident so glad I did. 😅
You are the best. I'm only halfway through this video and you're definitely addressing what I'm going through right now in pain. I live in a multi-storied house and I push myself too far.
Hello from Manila. I often watch your informative videos. Thank you.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy tks!
Hi Doc. Can hear you clearly 🤗
Great advice Dr and i am seeing results. Bruce from Calgary
Thankyou for this video. I have this problem and I've been trying to walk more, not less, I really needed this.
Hey Bette, sorry to hear that you are having this problem :-( you are so welcome and we are glad that you enjoyed our content. Keep us updated on how you are doing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I stopped doing extra walking and elevated my leg the way you showed (and by the way, that's how my home health PT showed me to do it, but I didn't know to keep it up), and the swelling has gone down considerably after only a couple of days. And so has the pain.
You are very helpful Dr. David. With my new HMO I am unable to see my new primary care doctor for a month (in order to ask for a referral to physical therapy). Sometimes openings for a first appointment take 3 months! In the meantime pain continues and got worse. Your examples are helping me do a much better job with arthritis. I also have a fracture of L5 at the upper endplate---whatever that means? So I always wake up with lower back pain and left knee stiffness. Thanks for better understanding and all the help.
Thank you doctor🙏
Thank you for that.
Dr David you're an angel in difficult times... You're received blessing from around the world! Thank you thank you thank you a hundred times! Never change the way you are helping!
From Delhi India 🇮🇳
Wow, you're welcome Zainab! We're happy to help you from the USA 💜
Glad to see how high the knee needs to be.ive been proping up on pillows but will try a chair.ty
Love this video
Dr Dave, You're such a geezer! Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new 😁
I had an ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy approximately 13 years ago and was told to work on my glutes post op, but never really understood why.......until now! My right knee OA is probably stage 2 to 3, but I continue to snowboard and my knee swells and my VMO shrinks, but I get it back again. My knee clicks and grinds and sometimes catches, but your exercises work and you've given me hope that I can avoid a knee replacement through increasing my knee stability, just by moving differently and fully activating my glutes.
Salute the glutes! 😂
Thanks and best wishes,
Dan.
Doctor David I am here now I'm watching now thank you ...
Hey Pawan! Glad you're here!

Thanks for the great advice. I fell on both knees on a hard floor 2 months ago and one of my knees continues to swell up after walking. I think it might have a cartilage tear or synovitis but I can't know without MRI. You're the best physio I've found online for conservative care and avoiding surgery.

Hey Doctor David, love ur videos. It's a breadth of fresh air from the usual online advice.
Most of my knee problems, both knees, is at the back where the popliteus muscle is. Very very sore and cannot bend them fully anymore - as in squatting. My legs get very painful at night and I have to get and move around. Any idea why the back of my knees are so stiff and painful ? Would really appreciate ur thoughts on this.

Hello David
You know your stuff! Woweee. And a medical professional who avoids meds?? Impressive. Thank you for your videos. God bless you!
I love my polar cube and kinesiology tape
We're so glad that you found polar cube and kinesiology tape work for you bowler8!
Your videos have been invaluable to me with my bad knees. Both knees have had torn meniscus and laparoscopic repairs. Then the arthritis made its appearance. I have been overweight all my life except for once, when I lost all the weight about 4 years ago and was exercising a lot. I had no knee pain or issues at that time. But now I've gained it back and the arthritis is worse than ever. I am sure the weight is about the worse thing for it but it is so difficult to get the weight off. I'm beginning to think that weight loss is of utmost importance in healthy aging for so many reasons and have decided to use your advice in the short term and lose the weight once again, hopefully never to regain. Eating is not worth the pain of this! If only it were easier...
I so appreciate your videos. They have made a world of difference, and bring hope where there was only resignation that replacements were not far off. All the best to you!
Hey Diana!!! We're so happy that our videos have been helpful for you! We're glad that you're finding out what you should be focusing on. That is great news for us and it's probably a great feeling for you to know what to do next. Cheers to great heal Diana!!! 🥂🙌
