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
Katie
I know I've said this before, but why no prolotherapy or PRP for knees? Reasonably high success rate. Other athletes doing it. I wore away the tendons in my shoulder in youth and have been pursuing this option with some success. It is supposed to work even better for knees. One reason I'm persevering on the shoulders is to prevent early onset arthritis. Conventional PT cannot fix the problem. Seek other non-surgical treatments!
