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

    Ha ha ha Wolfie :lmao:is that better. Fortress can you tell me more about what you are talking about or post a link so I can read up on it. That would be wonderful. Stussy I am so sorry to hear about your problems. I to was told I grew so fast that my knees did not keep up . Then I raced downhill skiing and played lots of basketball. SO ouch. I am not in much pain as you are . I feel bad for you. Though my knees hurt during practice they are good later. Though I have hard time with getting off of the floor or out of the pool. I must look ridiculous. I am glad that swimming is helping you . Weird how *** stroke does not bother me. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ripple sorry about the car accident. I have a bike and it hurts when I ride it but boy can you feel it working the muscles. Unfortunatley the bike gets put away soon. The snow will be here before I know it. Katie
