Hey there
My knees have been quite sore with the swimming ( probably pushing off the wall and kicking drills seem to bother me) My hubbys Uncle is an ortho and he told me just to swim through it ( as I am not going to do anymore damage). Which I am. I guess losing weight is key. Also strengthening the muscles around the knees.
Obviously they don't hurt enough to stop but they are more sore than before I swam. I kind of thought swimming was supposed to be good for this type of thing.
So I want to hear other peoples stories about arthritis and swimming.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Sorry to hear others have bad knees to. OUCH
I to have been told I will need knee replacements eventually. I am just trying to get some weight off and in shape so maybe I can push that back for years and years.
How come the eliptical machine is so bad for you. I love it!
I do bike as well though my knees hurt while doing but not afterwards.
From what I have read weightloss is the best thing one can do. SO that is what I am trying to do:cane:
