      Hai there, Can you please suggest some exercises, does and don't for someone suffering from Fibromyalgia ?
      I am taking meds but I don't know what exercises to focus on.
      I just do a little stretching now. Used to be a gym goer before all of this. My doctor said not to do weights.
      And it is hard to do pushups since i have pain in the back of the neck and trapezoids and knees and elbows.
      Thanks you very much

      Can you or someone please clarify what pain level we should expect during these exercises?
      A friend of mine was told that he should never feel knee pain during the exercises, but my intuition is that it should be more like a 3/10 in order for there to be an adaptive response to the loading. If I was going for zero pain in my PFJ right now I pretty much couldn't load the joint at all (and I have been injured for about 5 weeks).
      I'm also assuming the acceptable pain threshold is lower than for tendon rehab? Which would make this hard because its difficult to know whether some of the PFJ pain relates to tendinopathy

      I can't sit down or lie down anymore. The pain in my right leg is almost unbearable when getting up. Only when constantly moving the leg it is bearable. Seems it is a pinched nerve and not a worn-down joint cartilage. Seems the only thing that works is like in the Forrest Gump movie - walking without stopping.

    Been dealing with this for the last 25+ years. Always been fit, was in the military, ran and did various types of strength training/cross fit. Been a runner since I was 12, now 44. Been to PT so many times I can’t count, steroid injections, PRP injections, taping/braces, now doing hyalurronic acid gel injections. X-rays/MRIs show chrondomalacia, osteoarthritis, bone spurring, grade 3 wearing of the cartilage on the hoffa pad and femur, all this in both knees. At this point it’s effecting my QOL.

    • @dougg4899
      @dougg4899 6 месяцев назад +1

      My doctor used to run marathons until he needed bilateral hip replacements. He is now pain free and gets the same type of high volume exercise riding a bicycle. This puts virtually no stress on his hips.
      I started running in my mid 60s (I am almost 70 now), and find it relaxing (although I will admit that the last 5 miles of a marathon are painful). When I was 12, I mostly read books, although I liked to backpack whenever that was a possibility. Maybe that is why my knees are still good. But if they start to go, I will do something else. I suggest you consider biking or swimming. You can even run in a pool if you need your run fix. But, rehab and invasive therapy are not the answer for a lot of people.

The PRP seemed to have a side effect in the thigh just above the knee, made it swell for several months and could not have my knees bent for more than 15-20 seconds without discomfort and basically had to keep my legs more straight/less bent. Still have some of that lingering. The viscosupplimentation that I did this fall didn’t do much in either, other than help reduce some of swelling in my left knee, took it from severe to mild.

    Really appreciate all the effort in this video. I do suggest we all pay attention to the size of the studies referenced, 60-80 people is not great (and one you referenced was only for 6 young girls), so especially if you are feeling pain, check with your doctor. These also do not appear to be long timeline studies, another factor to consider.

    Thank you very much for the great video. Excellent coverage of the most relevant research and the rationale and impact behind different exercises. Before I came across these videos, I have been doing some version of a few of these exercises with stretching to treat my chondromalacia for the past two months and I don't seem to be making much progress. I've been having knee pain in left leg for 6+months and not able to play tennis or any physical activity that puts pressure at a certain angle on the left knee. The pain is very sharp and I feel like the knee will give way. The MRI shows Condromalacia of the weight bearing zone of the medial femoral condyle. Will starting your exercises at the lowest level and slowly progressing to the third level help get the knee function back to normal and probably back to playing sports? The doctor was recommending Hyaluronic acid injections. Appreciate your comments. Thank you!

    Great video - if you knee hurts while doing the exercises or after doing them; a few hours later what do should you do. I did get gel and cortisone shot. Not much luck

    Great Work! Did you come across any studies showing that individuals with PFP had decreased pain after strengthening their overall quad and hip muscles? I'm wondering if exercises would exacerbate the pain in those with PFP from daily activities (not working out).

    Thank you for this video! It gave me so much understanding of the pain I've been having.
    Question: is it safe to be jumping rope

    I guess I'm gonna start this. Have patella femoral pain in both knees.

    The front of right knee I’m guessing my petallor tendon going across my knee and feeling like a chord being strung. Only does it sometimes, and only in static shin box mobility drills. Started getting better after doing Ben Patrick’s exercises thankfully.
