I was told I needed both knees replaced but I kept going wasn't sure i wanted to do that then I went on cornivore diet WOW much improvement not only lost some weight but felt so much better the pain has gone from 100 % to around 25% on my knees and thinking in much clearer along with feeling great mentally. I'm so happy I did not do the knee replacements. Thank you Lord for showing me the right path for me.
This is Cindy’s husband………. I made the mistake of not doing everything possible before I rushed into surgery. I had both knees replaced the same day. Everything was great for the next three years. Then out of nowhere, my right knee developed an infection, a very stubborn infection. In fact it took a team of specialists and 2 and a half years and 3 different replacement knees and intravenous antibiotics to remedy the knee infection! I can’t walk normally and the knee looks like something from “Elephant man”. I wish I could go back 10 years and say to my orthopedic doctor, “No I don’t want your damn knee replacement, I’ll put up with the pain til Will gets old enough to help me in the year 2023!!!
That’s real worry it’s always in the back of my head so confused what to do tried everything then a friend of my wife’s had both knees done 12 months apart and says it’s the best thing she’s ever done and wished she’d done it earlier so we’re do I go with this so confusing all I know is iam so sick of the pain and discomfort it’s causing me
@@pitchkapizda8355I am in the same spot, decided that I will do three one week apart PRP treatments, strengthening of the glutes, non-weight bearing cardio, good diet and supplement regimen. Going to try and do that and see if I can kick the knee replacement surgery can way down the road. Too many horror stories like this out there like this one.
Nice informative video! Love your videos and your tips! Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video Will!👋❤👍
You're very welcome
After cutting out sugar, processed foods and vegetable oils , my bone on bone knee pain and arthritis is 90% better. Now I have to focus on your helpful exercises. ❤
Wishing you all the best
Thanks this video is really helpful.
You're very welcome
You have been very kind to guid people like me who has knee problem but don't know how serious it is.Thankyou so much.
Always happy to help!
Went through all your videos finding them very informative. I had both knees replaced and it went well except getting up from the floor so I started exercises from your other video. However I developed one other problem after the surgery and that is poor posture. I noticed you never covered that. Would like to see a video for that.
Hi there! Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you are finding my videos helpful. I have the following videos on posture that may be of interest for you - ruclips.net/video/pEK0Cl5N9y0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/9iKwtBvgJZo/видео.html
Such good info. Thank you!
You're very welcome
Recently me knee is aching during the night can’t get much sleep . Also I’m popping pain killers during the day at work to get through the day tramadol naproxen. Topical creams don’t seem to work anymore . Im using a umbrella as a walking stick at work to get about . Just had 7 days off work had a bad flare up could not walk had to use a walking stick to go to the toilet at home .
I don't know any orthopaedic surgeon / orthopedist, who could tell me this with such clarity. Thanks a lot. Btw is there any chance to get your book in german translation?
In short, If you have knee pain, giving way, resting pain ,night pain,deformity , go for physiotherapist advice and treatment first. If degeneration and deformity is in early stage and reversible, conservative treatment first. If it is in late stage, not improved with conservative treatments , go for surgery.
Even if problems are not reversible, surgery is planned, one would still be benefited by physio’s advice and exercises. To upgrade the muscle power means it take shorter time to rehab.
What if you have arthritis with bone spurs and it’s bone on bone do you need TKR or can this be treated I can’t see how any physio can help when it’s bone on bone every step I take it crunches
You can try gel injections, but they didn't work for me. How is your knee now?
Thanks for this video!
You're most welcome!

I have knocked knees my left knee worse than my right. I’ve had knocked knees for as long as I can remember. How ever it has gotten worse as time goes on. I think God l can still walk.
Wishing you all the best!
Well unfortunately i actually hit all 6 you have given. I am at the end of my rope. Its a long story but i been dealing with bad knees since 12 years old. 49 now and can barely walk. But struggling to get a doctor that will help. 5 surgeries on right knee and 3 on left knee. Left knee is bowed out my lower leg and knee shifted inward. My foot standing up then just shift and lift foot off the ground the foot is turned outward. And now when i sweep knee straight to bent my foot rotates almost 90 degrees outward when knee is bent. Knee joint is deformed and has happened over last 6 months. Right knee just had 5th surgery in July to fix torn medial meniscus and prosterior horn. Been in physical theropy since and its not improving at all. Then at Thanksgiving it suddenly went bad and now at this point its starting to take on the same shape as left knee. The knee shifts in but the tibia of shin are starting to bow out. Foot is still straight on this right side though. Pain is so bad in right knee i wake up to burning throbbing pain every 40 minutes or so. I have yo use a walker to go any distance and crutches to get up in the morning. Having trouble getting doctors yo help. I been dealing with this for many years over 25 bad problems. I am scared to do replacement although i know i am there. Gel one injections for last 8 years and they do help with the left amazingly enough with the deformed knee. Takes the edge off. But right knee the last 2 have not helped. I actually think it flares it up worse. I had my last gel one injections in November. And thats when right knee started getting worse. This is a very long story snd i have tried everything available. And not just once but several times on most everything. So frustrated eith doctors its incredible. Knees are clearly messed up bad. Visual from the outside if i wear shorts people will actually make comments. Whats wrong with your knees? I have x-rays and scope pictures from 2001 surgery showing bone on bone and micro fracture on the end of the femur to grow scar tissue to help. Which it did and got me through. Arthritis is bad looks like a cheese graded went through my knee inside. Yet doctor sat there and tells me that no gap is bad. Ok i know this already been dealing with it my whole life. X-ray shows plain as day there is no gap in right knee and thin on left. Says he thinks its not to bad though.....i say not yo bad you just said no gap is bad. Remember clear back in 2001 they drilled the fenur cause it had a half dollar size lesion or open bone. But its not that bad. I point to the no gap. He says it just looks that way cause he thinks they took the x-ray at a slight angle making it look like no gap. Holy moly you are kidding me right. No he says try gel one again see if that helps. Says i got to kick the can down the pervibeal rode a bit longer. I dont know what to do. The entire story is way to much yo type out here. But i am in a bad place with knees right now. And i dont know what to do. 2 to 3 months down and worse pain ever of my life they say. And replacement doctor tells me 2nd vist full knee will be pain free. 3rd visit says it does not look that bad and if we do it to early pain might not go away at all. ? What? You said i would be pain free. Now it may not take away the pain because i am 49? Yes if we fo it yo early pain can remain. What? None of this makes any sense? So i got to put the hurt to myself on a knee replacement that may not help? This is all rediculous. What in the world do i do?😮
Hello Dr
My mother is 62 years old and is weighing around 140 kg.
She is suffering from acute knee pain. I have seen many doctors and all keep saying to loose weight. Now i was thinking for knee replacement but not sure whether its a good option considering her weight.
Can you please help
There are some doctors who refuse to do knee replacement for people who are very overweight. The thinking is that they will require a replacement of the replacement in 5-10 years due to the weight. Even normal weight people can only expect a 10-15 year replacement life. You can only do so many replacements, each new one adds additional risks.
It's never a good idea
Just had one 10 weeks ago, best decision, a big one to make, I’m now able to walk my dog without horrendous pain, life is too short to suffer unnecessarily. Try everything thing else first but don’t be scared to do this. Find a good surgeon and get your life back 😊
You just try all this shit to make more money.
It's not good Tramadol. Actually
Tramadol they stopped. After taking such medicines all my hair
Gone. In Mumbai
Doctors are charging so much
No time for patients.
They take 2500
For fifteen minutes.
I spent lot of money
On doctors.
