If you have arthritis, exercise can help pain. If exercise is not possible, ask your doctor if a knee injection will help. Cortisone or hyaluronic acid can be used, but there are other treatments being trialed.

The safest exercise for knees is running in deep water. If you don’t have a pool readily available, then using a stationary bicycle is great for knees. Make sure your leg is almost straight when your pedal is at the lowest point.

A common cause of knee pain is patello-femoral syndrome

– You don’t have to bend your knees as much as the person who is demonstrating the exercise. Just bend the knees to a point of comfort.

Chronic pain is stressful, especially if no specific cause can be identified. No matter the cause of pain, it can cause high alarm. That makes pain worse. Check out the first video and Steps to Lower Inflammation.
