A complicated topic!! Fluid is ur body's way of bracing an unstable joint. It is a blessing and a curse. I'm bone on bone with bone spurs......constant swelling and stiffness..the structures around the knee are always hurting.
ice has helped me a lot with the swelling
I was surprised he didn't mention it at all.
My knee swollen I guess from gout but this last long time like 3 months I can npt walk that leg. Now I can but very slow n light due still swollen n hurt. Usually my gout last 2 weeks at my ankle, tows. What can I do to cure my knee swollen problem? Ive been eating very clean like mostly vegan food almost no seafood but still have swollen knee but not too big tho.
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I learn so much in your videos.

Dr Dave you have helped me more than my pt has and the Dr whose care I am under 😢. It has cost me a small out of pocket fortune. I am getting better advise from you than his team 😢. I have bad arthritis in both knees. Am following ur suggestion ❤. I found u by accident so glad I did. 😅
Hi Doctor - thanks for much for your great videos. I am 75 and I had meniscus tear surgery around 4 months ago and then had a ruptured bakers cyst. I still find my knee is really stiff and often swollen - maybe as you say I am trying to do too much exercise, mainly walking, bike and stretches. I will try some of these more gentle ones. Thanks for sharing.
Just a thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge we appreciate you

You are very helpful Dr. David. With my new HMO I am unable to see my new primary care doctor for a month (in order to ask for a referral to physical therapy). Sometimes openings for a first appointment take 3 months! In the meantime pain continues and got worse. Your examples are helping me do a much better job with arthritis. I also have a fracture of L5 at the upper endplate---whatever that means? So I always wake up with lower back pain and left knee stiffness. Thanks for better understanding and all the help.
Thank you for the wonderful videos

Hey Annie, thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate the support!
Thankyou for this video. I have this problem and I've been trying to walk more, not less, I really needed this.
Hey Bette, sorry to hear that you are having this problem :-( you are so welcome and we are glad that you enjoyed our content. Keep us updated on how you are doing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I stopped doing extra walking and elevated my leg the way you showed (and by the way, that's how my home health PT showed me to do it, but I didn't know to keep it up), and the swelling has gone down considerably after only a couple of days. And so has the pain.
I have been watching for a short while and am convinced about your holistic wY of dealing with this knee Osteoarthritis problem. Thank you. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻♀️🙉🙊🙈🌬🍃🍁🍂

We hope you found this information helpful! 🧡
Wonderful tips Dr! Had exactly the issue you mentioned from a meniscus tear from playing tennis months ago. Tightness and swelling has been coming on and off throughout the time of my injury. No ops done and is just ongoing with PT and hopefully I can resume back to my normal routine with proper care and tips from your clips. Braces helps too to stabilize on those days when I'm feeling the knee is a little loose due to swell or tightness.
Very important and useful video. God bless you
You're welcome Celina! May God bless you too!!!
Hey from Liverpool , New York just started to watch your videos
Hi from El Paso, TX! 👋 Welcome to our channel!
from Canada. i definitely gave my knee too much of a stretch when i was swimming a couple of weeks ago. so this is helpful! Thank you.
Sorry to hear you over stretched your knee Jane :-(
We hope you get back to feeling better as fast as possible.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I have your tools to fix it now. Such an easy solution to swelling. I gotta get some of the wrap now to reuse. I am so relieved to find your channel. So many things at my fingertips to help remedy my pains. Blessings.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for the tips to manage bad knees.
God's spirit be with you always 🕊
You’re welcome Eugenia!!! We’re happy to help! Good bless you!!!
Thank you doctor🙏
Dr Dave, You're such a geezer! Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new 😁
I had an ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy approximately 13 years ago and was told to work on my glutes post op, but never really understood why.......until now! My right knee OA is probably stage 2 to 3, but I continue to snowboard and my knee swells and my VMO shrinks, but I get it back again. My knee clicks and grinds and sometimes catches, but your exercises work and you've given me hope that I can avoid a knee replacement through increasing my knee stability, just by moving differently and fully activating my glutes.
Salute the glutes! 😂
Thanks and best wishes,
Dan.

Thank you so much Vini!
Glad to see how high the knee needs to be.ive been proping up on pillows but will try a chair.ty
Love this video
Yes, we hear you
Hi Doc. Can hear you clearly 🤗
Thanks for the great advice. I fell on both knees on a hard floor 2 months ago and one of my knees continues to swell up after walking. I think it might have a cartilage tear or synovitis but I can't know without MRI. You're the best physio I've found online for conservative care and avoiding surgery.

You’re welcome Sepherina!!!
I have swelling arthritis and Baker's syst I'm trying a little exercise from your videos I can hear you. I'm in st Lucia
Hey Doctor David, love ur videos. It's a breadth of fresh air from the usual online advice.
Most of my knee problems, both knees, is at the back where the popliteus muscle is. Very very sore and cannot bend them fully anymore - as in squatting. My legs get very painful at night and I have to get and move around. Any idea why the back of my knees are so stiff and painful ? Would really appreciate ur thoughts on this.
Thanks for the info God bless.
You're welcome Rose Fonseca!!!

Best advice. Exactly what happened to me. Went birding with a very tiny swelling. Now it's painful with a bigger swelling. Should have rested till all the swelling was gone.
Sorry to hear that you had more swelling tanquayen :-(
We hope you recover as fast as possible!!!
Your videos have been invaluable to me with my bad knees. Both knees have had torn meniscus and laparoscopic repairs. Then the arthritis made its appearance. I have been overweight all my life except for once, when I lost all the weight about 4 years ago and was exercising a lot. I had no knee pain or issues at that time. But now I've gained it back and the arthritis is worse than ever. I am sure the weight is about the worse thing for it but it is so difficult to get the weight off. I'm beginning to think that weight loss is of utmost importance in healthy aging for so many reasons and have decided to use your advice in the short term and lose the weight once again, hopefully never to regain. Eating is not worth the pain of this! If only it were easier...
I so appreciate your videos. They have made a world of difference, and bring hope where there was only resignation that replacements were not far off. All the best to you!
Hey Diana!!! We're so happy that our videos have been helpful for you! We're glad that you're finding out what you should be focusing on. That is great news for us and it's probably a great feeling for you to know what to do next. Cheers to great heal Diana!!! 🥂🙌

Hi..dr I am from Mauritius having arthritis pain in the right knee inner part..and slight swelling on top..
What exercises do u suggest plz.
Hi! Does it make sense to use the blackroll instead of stretching to relax the leg muscles?
Hi 👋 thanks
You're welcome Virginia! 😊
Day 26. Think I overdid it with the tailgate kicks plus some other exercises and I definitely have tendonitis All that swelling is in the front of my knee on the sides not inside. Because the swelling in my knee was more of this morning. Then in the last week. Been taking Advil for 26 days now it's not doing nothing so I'm going to quit. I need doesn't hurt. I was doing the tailgate kicks where my feet touch the ground a little bit of resistance today when I do the tailgate kicks I'll make sure that my feet don't hit the ground. Compression. Elevation and no Advil
hi good am. i have a knee osteoarthritis. What you have discussing now on your vlog i have the same problem. My right knee is still swelling despite of the treatments i haf applied what can i do for this?
My knee still swells, below the kneecap on the right knee months after the pain is gone and only a slight tingle every once in awhile. I stationary bike and glute 🎉exercises. Tailgate swings everyday. Hip bursitis on the left hip is what bothers me a lot more. Try to do your hip bursitis’s, but back pain, alittle on the left side. What now is what I think! I wish I could decide what program of yours I should buy . Back hip or knee🙂program!
