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

Yes synvesc is supposed to lubricate the area. I did not find a big difference though some people do. I found the needle very painful as well. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I am lucky I am not in pain all the time just when I swim and sometimes afterwards but not all day. I really need to lose some weight. I am losing inches and feel really wonderful. I am excited about this journey so I just ignore my knees. That maynot work forever but it does now
