How to promote and allow full recovery of a knee injury to avoid athritis and surgery?

Question

Had a knee injury not to long ago. It recovered, to an extent, but still bugs me from time to time. How can I get my knee back to normal (or at least as best I can) without medications of any kind. I don't want to be reminded of this when I'm much older and don't ever want surgery. Has anybody had any luck with this and what should I do?

Answer 2

An injury to the knee, or any joint, alters the bio mechanical integrity of that joint. This is why the joint will have an increased chance of becoming arthritic compared to an un-injured joint. The fact that the knee still causes pain says the results of the injury are still present. This is quite common. You can try strengthening the soft tissues around the knee by exercising, or spinning. I like spinning because it is no-impact and strengthens the muscles. Bike riding is also very good if you do not use too high of a gear, keep the rpm's at around 75 to 80. Make sure that you wear good supportive shoes as bad shoes increases the stress on feet, knees, low back etc. Try taking glucosamine and most important don't do anything stupid to re-injure the knee.
