Healthy knees, please!
How to prevent and repair knee problems.
BY CHERYL HARBOUR
K
eeping your joints healthy is absolutely essential if you're going to stay
active and enjoy life.
Almost everyone knows someone who's had a knee replacement. But
there are still many people walking around with pain, wondering whether knee
surgery is in their future. So what is the latest on preventing and fixing knee problems? Here is some of the best information we've found.
How do you know if you're going to have knee
problems?
Some kinds of knee pain come from old injuries - for example, a torn ACL or meniscus. For most people, the problems come from wear and tear that results in osteoarthritis. Some early - and more subtle and progressive - signs are: having stiffness, hearing
"popping" or "crunching" noises when you bend your knee, having pain when you bear
weight or your knee tends to "give out," being unable to fully extend or flex your knee,
having swelling or fluid build-up around your kneecap. A very through description of
various problems and symptoms is provided by the Mayo Clinic in this article.
Do knee problems come from too much or too little
activity?
As people get older, they sometimes get less active. And they also start having knee
stiffness or pain. It's not necessarily a coincidence. The common thinking now is that
activity is good for your joints, even if you have some arthritis. The Harvard Medical
School newsletter summarizes the results of tests conducted to see how activity
affects knees
