i had knee pain and when i did my neuro said it didn't sound like ms--then i found that my 6 year old niece had lowered the seat level on my excersize bike, but i had never raised it again--most of the knee pain left when i raised the bike seast, here i was trying to ride a stationary bike fitted to a 6 year old..:(
my next knee pain complaint was mad to a physical therapist, who told me knees & hips casn hurt from keeping a wide stance for balance, she tried to get me to keep my legs closer together when i stood or wazlked.---i can see that there isd increaded stress on my knees from the widet stance i use because of balance..i think i am starting top get repeat corns on my feet because when i stumble i tip to the side of my feet to stop the stummble--CORNS what's a person with ms suppose to do? I know the human body was designed to have balance and not stumble so much--so if i have to use this body with ms & not the balancer it was suppose to have--i deal with sore knees, hips & corns.....but that's ME, i don't know if you have something else causing it?

I've just received information about the fact that how we move can change so much for us. Apparently, posture is everything in so many ways, from how we stand up from the chair, to how long we sit, etc. My doctor has confirmed that sitting is stressful for the knees. According to Dr. Eric Goodman, we should get up from a seated position every 10 minutes or so and realign our posture. There are some tips on youtube concerning his classes. I think this could be very helpful for everyone, especially those of us with MS.

Always looking for information. :)

I suffered with knee pain for years and thought it was related to the MS. Sometimes we tend to do that. As it turns out, my knee problems worsened as a result of a torn meniscus years ago. Subsequently, I fell often due to balance problems and an unstable knee. I would check with a orthopedic doctor to assess your situation. For me, I had a knee replacement surgery and though very painful, it was the best thing I have done in years for my health. I must warn you however that should this be an issue with you, to consider all aspects of your life. Drop me a line if you have further questions.

Lorrieonline Im currently doing foundation training by Dr Eric Goodman and getting good results. Its amazing work and you can easy fit it in to your day 10 mins a day is all it takes.

Yes, over the last few years I have developed knee pain. When I am on my feet for 10 minutes or so, they really start to ache. My doctor did an x-ray, but that came up as normal. After talking with my physio, she said it is probably due to weakened muscles that support my knees and she gave me some exercises to help. I am so terrible about being proactive about doing them, but I think it might help. Hope you find something that helps! Good luck!

Pain with hips and knees are sometimes related to your feet. See a podiatrist about your feet before you do anything surgical.

I had very bad knee pain, too. A combination of arthritis, and just using the legs in a harder way because of MS made it painful. Between exercising, and cortisone shots in the knees I'm feeling much better.
