I have moderate knee arthritis, aka knees of a 70 yr old..

i am overweight….i have arthritis in both my knees.the dr won’t do a knee replacement.my knees and legs hurt and they feel and sound like my knees are crunching when i stand and try to walk

My feet have grow about 1/2 in and my knees have been really painful on and off. I’m 19 and don’t have arthritis or exercise excessively.

this all started about 5-6 months ago. It started with a lot of pain in my knee caps when ever i worked out or ran. Recently I’ve noticed a bad/constante twitch in my knees. I’m kinda getting worried about this. Sports are my life and I’m still pretty young! Please don’t tell me i have arthritis! if i do, do really have that bad of a disadvantage?
*title*: Do i have arthritis in my knees*, sry about the type-o

I am 19, and my knees already ache sometimes, my family has a history of arthritis and so I would like to know what I can do to prevent myself from getting arthritis too. I know I should have lots of a calcium but is there anything else I can do?

I have rheumatoid arthritis, am 26 years old and since moving to Denver have NEVER had so much pain with it! Sure there have been times my whole body would flare up and it wouldn’t be pleasant – but I am noticing more localized pain – specifically the BACK of my knees, my hips, and my shoulders – as well of course as toes and fingers. Why would it be so localized like this and what can I do?

Yes, I am overweight, but have been working on it! This month lost 16 lbs! YAY ME! I also sit long hours for work… but no more than I was before I moved here and am still doing my yoga, belly dancing and walking.

I can not run due to the arthritis in my knees, swimming is out of the question due to financial reasons – so I walk, but that gets boring. So any ideas for other cardio would be great. Also – need to work on abs but get migraines whenever I do sit-ups. Yes I have had aerobic instructors watch me do them & they say that I am doing them right & not pulling on my neck, etc… but still get migraines anyway. Also get migraines with strenuous cardio workouts. I really want to lose weight, but it just seems that there are obstacles around every corner. So any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

will gym workouts it cause more damage to the joints?
Im 23 years old and suffer from joint pains especially on my knees.
im suspected of having rheumatoid arthritis.

My daughter has been complaining that her knees hurt for the past week. She fell and had a pretty bad scratch on her knee. This was about 3 weeks ago and it is completely healed but I thought when she said "knee hurt", it may have been past tense and a recollection upon seeing the scar.

I am thoroughly convinced now that her knees are really hurting. I will kiss the scarred knee and she’ll say other knee hurt. She’s complaining constantly, but it’s not the type of pain that requires going to an emergency room. We have an appointment to see her doctor on Tuesday.

This is my REAL fear. I have chosen NOT to vaccinate my daughter. On July 8th she scratched her cornea and we ended up in an emergency room. I was convinced she needed a tetanus vaccine by both the er doctors and her doctor. She had no immediate reaction to the vaccine. But when I Googled "Toddler complains of knee pain" one of the links connected the Tetanus vaccine to Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am freaking out. I have also read the Web MD page explaining how to differentiate between JRA and growing pains.. and have ruled out growing pains.

WTF? Any ideas?

I’m 26 male. on january i was video taping and in order to lower a bit, i bend my knees a bit and stayed in that position for like 10 seconds.. when i came back up i knew something had torn or something. very very unfair, cause it was such a simple thing i did. Plus that leg is my strongest, the other leg is slightly smaller and weaker but the injured one has strong muscles. So i’m thinking it was the imbablance of leg length and imbablance in muscle strength that somehow caused this. Ok, Now i’ts June, had this on January and although it’s better i have bone pain sometimes alot that i cant’ even walk. I know it’s probably mor elike bone related( that is why im calling it arthritis), i’m not sure what it is though. I’ve heard of osteoarthritis happening to athletes even when young..so is it this? and man, i have to live the rest of my life without being able to walk well? I went to doc, but he was an ignorant doc that just wanted money. anyways, what can i do for this?
