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

Okay – so.. typically when I ride it’s during a lesson, show, or clinic and I’m in the saddle for an hour at the very least. Lupus runs in my family and I’ve already got symptoms of it + rheumatoid arthritis. After riding for an extended period of time, I start to have knee pain – mostly in my right knee. I’ve tried jointed stirrups and ironically they caused MORE pain than they relieved. I’ve thought about trying the Bow Balance stirrups but I’m afraid it’ll be the same thing. I have "conformational issues," as my trainer likes to put it, because I’ve got a 33" inseam but I’m only 5′4". This makes it hard for me to fit really nicely in a saddle without my leg looking too long (even if my stirrups are at the right level).
I know I have a problem of turning my toes out when I jump, so could this be part of the reason for my knee pain? Could it be the fact that my legs are so long? Does anyone else have this same problem and if so – what have you done that has actually worked?
I’ve had blood tests done every year for the Lupus. With the test – they’re looking for I think three specific things.. if you only have two out of the three, they still name your results as "negative." My Dr. has said, "It’s just a matter of time before the test comes back positive" – I don’t really know how to interpret that.. I’m assuming that one of the things they look for is possibly age related. Who knows.. and Yes, I’ve tried ace bandages, I’ve tried a knee brace – it doesn’t help. Ibuprofin sometimes works but I’m not a huge fan over taking stuff. My massage therapist has recommend Arnica – which I’ve yet to find – but otherwise I’m not on any medications other than the occasional Flexiril after a horseshow (which is when it’s the worst).

They drilled into the growth plate to stop growth on my right knee so my left knee could catch up, and possibly even out. The surgeryydidn’tt work very well, and my legs never evened out. However, that is not my point. Could the drilling have caused arthritis or another condition that could be giving me mild to severe knee pain? If it’s a different condition, can you please tell me what it is? Thanks in advance!

According to the orthopedic, I have soriatic arthritis in my knees, and she gave me Voltaren gel to help the swelling go away, but it’s not working. I am also taking Tylenol three times a day, along with doing physical therapy for my legs. None of it is working, so do you have any suggestions for me that might make my legs feel better? Thanks!

He strides out well but only after ten seconds he needs to warm up during which he first uses just three legs or limps along. He is large but a little overweight weighing 120lb (55Kg) and I fear that he might now be suffering from arthritis in the right hind hip.

I have lost 130 lbs since last march,I have very bad arthritis,I stay very active with walk,house cleaning,dancing,I like to stay busy.
I want to be able to find relief from pain instead of depending on alieve or other pain medicne.i toss and turn all night with cramping,stiffness,burning sensation.I had knee surgery in sep of 06,I cant lay on my left side very long,I can only sit down for a little while my legs go to sleep and get very stiff,the pain is so severe that I sometimes cry at night,can someone please help me to find hopefully a natural way to sleep and relieve pain,thank you very much,this is suzy.

i have a 171/2 year old dog.i had him on a natural arthritis treatment, about 4 weeks ago he got really bad,back legs stiff,rear paws turned under, dragging when he walks. i carry him up and down stairs to use bathroom. he is very alert and has a excellant appetite.his symptoms got really bad within a matter of 2 weeks,the vet put him on remadyl he has been on it for 3 weeks at first he did really weel but this past week he didnt do so good the vet said i could try deramaxx at this point i dont know what to do.

He walks and runs easily but only after warming up for ten or twenty seconds during which he either uses just three legs or limps along. Jumping too is becoming difficult. He is big but slightly overweight weighing 120 lb(55Kg) and my guess is that he’s getting arthritis of his right hind hip joint which seems to be getting worse instead of better.
