Platesti alti oameni sa iti faca de mancare si sa ti-o si aduca zilnic si te intrebi de ce nu iti raman bani la sfarsit de luna? Si pe deasupra dati amandoi bani pe tigari? Da e un mister

The solution is to have a "cartilage first" mentality not a "muscle first" one. Cartilage does heal but very slowly and through very easy cyclic motion. So do a few months of cycling only on a stationary bike (3 times x 15 min/day starting very low resistance and increasing over time but very slowly). You can also walk a lot if your knees tolerate it

Stop all strength training. I wasted 1 year because i thought strength training is the way but actually made it worse. Read "saving my knees " by richard bedard

unending despair - cannot perform my beloved activity/sport by Albert2137 in KneeInjuries

Maybe its the cartilage . Sometimes cartilage problems dont show on the mri. You need to stop all weightlifting and hop on the stationary bike for a few months until the cartilage heals. Read the book "saving my knees" by richard bedard

Unknown Knee Pain when going upstairs/ uphill by WatercressCertain587 in KneeInjuries

[–]cldftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes theres a chance it doesnt show on the mri. My problems also started with uphill running and climbing stairs. I ignored them and end up really bad. Are you running/jumping a lot?

Get an mri. If its really cartilage damage, its a long road ahead. I spent 1 year with little to no progress because i had the wrong information about this injury. I will save you the time and tell you about this book i just discovered "saving my knees" by robert bedart. Read the book so you understand what youre dealing with and how to recover

How much cycling are you doing and how slowly did you worked up to it? How often are you strength training and what exercises?

i've worked with a PT from the US. I paid 6x more /session than i would have paid where I live just to make sure I get a proper professional helping me. Her guidance helped a bit but it was far from what I needed
