Boy does it help but somedays its just to painful to do anything.

Certainly sounds like I'm not the only one who finds that exercise makes you feel worse. It's frustrating as I want to exercise, but it causes a flare up or makes me that much sorer the next day (and not sore in a good way as it's not pain from working muscles, but rather irritated joints/tissue/nerves). And I figure, walking at a slow pace where my heart beat is not raised is useless.

Activities that are popular among busy people of our society, like running, jogging, tennis, basketball, and even golf, can cause Knee joint pain. For the most part, the Knee joint pain begins with the injury, which leads to joint inflammation. Repetitive activities can put stress on the knee joint and increase chances of injury and inflammation of the knee joint. There are many ways to treat inflamed knee before calling for medical appointments. Medicines such as ibuprofen and naproxen solve issues of anti-inflammatory to help reduce pain as well. Acetaminophen are also helpful for the pain, however, it does help with inflammation. Supplements also are good to fight knee pain. It should come as no surprise that many people find themselves searching for relief from knee joint pain. Researchers have been working extra time to find new ways to help people through pain as well. The fact is that our population, in general is aging and much work still is to help stimulate the need for new options.

Hi everyone,
new to this support group... My hubby just had cardiac rehab. The fellow there stated: Now if you can do the fast walk and with the incline that is great Now with the new studies it shows if it gets the best of you then you should just walk with no incline plus if it is too much to walk 30 minutes to an hour then do 15 minutes 2 to 3 times a day or even every other day. In other words it is best to do a little bit then to do nothing at all. I know those that want to lose weight this won't help but it is great for those that just want to exercise so your not so stiff. We got a treadmill...started out at 1/2 mile a day for 2 weeks then to a mile a day for 2 weeks ... then to 1 1/2 mile a day. wow did I get a flare that kept me from walking about a month...So I did it again and the same thing happened. Well to make this story a bit shorter... I found out I can do a half mile twice a day to get a mile in with so much less pain that way... I will give myself some more time and will try to make it 3/4 mile twice a day. I have also learned that one day I can do the 1 mile and more but maybe not the next day so for me I feel it is better to do less everyday and not get the flares by over pushing myself. I do need a hip replacement and a knee replacement but I hate the thought of surgery. I have already had one knee replaced... but I really seem to have a terrible time walking outside but on the treadmill it is so much better... maybe it is because outside it is so un-level plus on the treadmill you are walking on a rubber belt too.

Did 30 minutes again on the treadmill...only at about 3.2m/h and walking of course. Yet when I came off and the next day, I had a bit of the shooting pain. It's so frustrating. Am starting to think that I have nerves really close to my SI joints and these get irritated very easily. Would that make sense?

It does help all i can do is water or walk to sore to do anything else oh i do try stetching in morning
