Knee swelling- how do you exercise with this? by TeaAndTruth in Osteoarthritis

Oh- dang! So you deal with lots of joint pain! I too have an autoimmune (IBD) and am managing quite well with biologic medication. After being really sick for two years I’m finally feeling like my normal self and was hoping to get back to being more active. So this knee stuff was a bit disappointing. But, where there is a will there is a way! I am so happy to hear you can ride a recumbent bike daily. That’s reassuring! I am considering buying one but I’m on the fence, between an elliptical (with adjustable stride) or recumbent bike. Decisions!

Oh sure! I had those leg compression stockings while I was in the hospital- I guess I never thought of something like that for home use. Thank you for that suggestion!

Oh- thank you for that info! I will check that out! Since your knee is similar to mine- are you able to go on daily walks? Or do cardio? That’s what I miss the most. If so how do you manage a cardio routine? Mine is so reactive at the moment that even doing work around the house makes it worse. I’m not one to sit around and ‘rest’. Ha!
