[quote=Anonymous] I’ve had bad knees since 2nd grade. Reconstructive surgery at Mayo helped, of course, but they still aren’t great. My Mayo surgeon told me not to gain any weight (and I was only 115 lbs) and to ALWAYS take the stairs. The strongest my knees have ever been was when I did a combo of stair master for 45 min and treadmill on an upward angle with an electrical stimulation device going on my inner quads for 15-30 minutes. Now, since I’ve gained weight and ages decades, I tread water, do the stair stepper, and walk. The stair stepper is still my go-to when my knees feel loose. A general physician once told me that if my quads are strong enough, I don’t need ligaments. It’s not true but I understand his point. A physical therapist once recommended strengthening my core. Yoga has helped with that. Also, I avoid the elliptical since it causes major swelling for my knees. Good luck to you![/quote]
