How To Calm Down Swelling From Knee Arthritis

- "...I have OA in my left knee along with chronic swelling. Should I continue to play golf? Am I doing damage?" - James Schrimshire
Our reply: "The fact that you have swelling means your knee is chronically irritated. Being on your feet for too much is likely going to continue to cause swelling. That means that golf is probably not the best thing to be doing right now...You need to get that swelling under control!"
James' reply: "Thanks for the reply. My doc said that I would probably have to come in occasionally and have him draw the water off of my knee until I decide it is time to have the knee replacement. He has tried cortisone injection and various nsaids, and ice. Nothing affects it. It actually seems to be better when I workout or play golf."
Chronic knee swelling often happens when knee arthritis is not managed properly. There is so much confusion on what to do about swelling when it comes to knee arthritis.
Many people just charge ahead with life and suffer the consequences of quickly progressing knee arthritis. They're making their knee worse every day they keep the swelling there.
Doctors don't always know what to do. Since their training is in medicine, they usually offer anti-inflammatory injections and medications but that only give temporary relief.
Getting the swelling to calm down for the long term to get knee arthritis under control requires looking at the mechanical pressures and loading going through the knee joint.
That's what we talk about here in this video.

Hi Wendy! Wow! We are honored that we were able to help you so much.🧡 Many blessings to you and we wish you continued relief!🙏
This brilliant practitioner is the real deal. A friend suffering from meniscus pain forwarded Dr. Dave’s 2 Minute Meniscus Pain Relief video to me and said it immediately removed his pain. Suffering myself - I tried it and BOOM! - meniscus knee pain gone. Absolutely amazing.
Hi...I do get my knee swollen periodically...In my despair, I follow many medical channels on YT...you are offering (hands down) the best advice and I'm grateful to you Sir.
Thank you katiatzo!!! That comment just made our day ❤️
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy its 100% true and we have to say it when we feel it...
Helo
Thanks thanks!! I really needed this info.
Thanks Dr for your information
My knees are on fire! I’m in so much pain! Be careful taking any drugs. I followed my Drs orders and now have a fatty liver from all the pain drugs. I love this info and thank you
I've been dealing with this exact condition for several years...my doctor told me I would need knee replacement eventually and has prescribed Tylenol and cortisone injections. I did one session of your exercise and it immediately feels better...thank you so much!
Your doctor is selling you the bill of western medicine goods. Tylenol and Cortisone are not the answer. Cortinsone is a temporary solution, and your body will reject it after several injections. Side effects from these injections will not be good as it changes your body's immunology clock. You may need a joint replacement at some point but I would suggest seeing a doctor with a modern view.
Whenever I stand for a long time or even stand by the sink, my bone stiffens making it difficult to move, thank you for giving a new perspective on osteoporosis
This is loranna from Dominica
Yes I here you
Be careful with Tylenol. I find it doesn't work as well as Advil anyway because of the inflammation. I use no more than 1200 mg per 24 hours of Advil and it manages hip and knee pain well (3 capsules).
Dr I am 74 years have knee pain and swelling,please help me which exercises I will do one after another because i don’t know English,only I watch your showing exercise.If you write down like 1 2 3 4.
This man makes so much sense. Thank you sir for sharing your talents freely with the world. So grateful 🙏🏻❤️🙌
You are a treasure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you for all of the information you present. Most helpful and truly appreciate everything.
Thanks for the advice. You are a great at explaining. My Orthopedic doc is a person of few words.
Thanks Doc! You provide clear and concise info on this topic. I so appreciate you sharing your expertise. Thanks again!
Thanks for your tremendous support for knee swelling information. God bless.
Wowww excellent info .... I just had a knee incident and am doing your glute exercises video for knee pain .... Already seeing the difference !!
I cant believe hope informative you are.. I am so glad I found you.. Im bone on bone with both knees..last 3 weeks have been the worst ever.. pain and seizure after sitting for long.. never had this before.. i ve been very active ever since.. as much a legs pressing and dead lifting.. im going through your videos and glutes is on my list.. so my quads are too storing,., they have shrunk since a year or two.. btu »i get it. thank you for all you do
Thank you so much... both of my knees have arthritis the swelling is ridiculous. I will be on your videos several times a day now.
The tail gate swings and learning how to walk properly is really helping! Thanks! I always ass-umed feet pointing exactly straight ahead was proper alignment!
U really good at this since i found your message my arthritis has improved I'm 61for two years I've had this and I have less from since I've started following you I'm from Trinidad
Your advice is priceless, thank you.
Glad it was helpful, you're welcome! 😁
I have been doing Feldenkreis exercises for months and have stopped all this stretching since intense pain in my knee became a problem. I had to buy a walking stick. I woke up one morning and wanted to do some belly dancing moves. These simple hip rotatations absolutely restored my health and eliminated the knee problem. Imagine my surprise when your description of repetitive, low impact movement matched the belly dancing routine. Doing this regularly along with your glute strengthening exercises is giving me hope for complete recovery.
We can hear great
Thanks for such helpful information. So far your information is one of the best on the internet.
That's amazing to hear that our content has been helpful, thank you for your kind words! 😊
this was so good to listen to. My knee is flared up and i can see somethings i am doing that is not helping. again, the glutes is so important. this video i will listened to again and take notes.
Thank you so ,so,very much for all your tops and excessive. I really appreciate you educating and being so informative on arthritis. I do have a lo5 of swelling all the time and in lot of pain constantly. I did take many times cortisone and Gel injection but did nothing to stop the pain or swelling. I am going to try your tips . Thank you again.
Hello I find your videos very helpful. I canceled knee replacement surgery because of your excellent suggestions. Thank you.
I have the same problem living in pain daily thank you so much for this clip
Best video I have ever come across,God bless you
Thanks Nidhi!!! ❤️
I am a PSW, in a nursing home, my work involves to much walking , lifting pushing, especially when the resident is bed ridden. I'm so sad I cannot avoid walking and heavy, but thank you for sharing expertise Doctor, I found at last your channel, so much help for my knee problem. Thank you so much.

Thanks Doc for all your exercises for my knee OA. I’ve been doing them daily for over a week now, and have seen improvement. Gives me some hope …. I really don’t want TKR x (2) ….
I appreciate you for this video. It's really very important teaching, I've learnt a lot. Thank you so much.
❤this channel. Very helpful and confirms what I have been increasing
Really helpful video about reducing swelling in the knees.
Thank you Dorothy!!!
I am doing the low impact exercises to strengthen my glutes and build strength in my knees. My knee pain is receeding gradually. Thank you so much.
So glad that my brother found your channel and suggested it for me. Much of what you say can aggravate knees are things a physiotherapist had me doing two weeks ago in 3 appointments. I talked to my very knowledgeable/athletic/fit brother. He disagreed with what I was told & directed me to you. I’m starting to do your exercises and they are definitely helping. Thanks so much.
Amazing Doctor! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼
Great teaching and tips! God bless you for caring and sharing your knowledge!😊
Glad it can help Rita! 😊
You are such a blessing. Everything you say makes so much sense
Thank you Samantha!!!

You're welcome Biodun!!! We pray for you to heal 100% too!!!
My swelling is in my feet. First one, now both. I have OA in both knees, but right one is worse and cortisone shots do not help.I started your exercises a week ago and am taking pain medication from Mexico and Voltaren on right knee. All this now help. Next week I’ll start Hyaluronic injections. But you are my only hope. I will try to avoid knee replacement by all means. Thank you so much, Dr. Middaugh!
Thank you. Recovered from meniscus tear but also Ortheo said I have arthritis in knee. No swelling now. And hoping to reach my goal for 2023 of being able to do an Indian squat. 😀so will add these four stretches to my routine.
Listening from Michigan. Helpful as always. Thank you so much.
You're coming in loud & clear. Love how you lecture. More power.
Hey Betty, Thank you! We appreciate your kind words. 🧡
I've tried everything to reduce the swelling in the knee and I'm not getting the swelling to come down in the quad. What you're saying makes sense I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.
I sooooo appreciate you!! I work 8 hours a day on my feet. I have a swollen knee left side. I think sciatica. I will do these things you suggest. 🙏

Great video Doc. I love the easy to understand explanations. So many other docs and different kinds of therapists just do the cookie cutter stuff. I’ve done so many things that actually make me worse! They just are in it for the money and don’t care. You are a gem✌️
🎉hello

Thank you! I recently injured my right knee by walking too much. I wanted to be more fit, so started walking to our post office and I live on a steep hill. I realize now why my knee flared up. I'll be doing the recommended exercises.

From a proverbial couch potato who binges on all kinds of good stuff on the net........but one can only do for that for so long.....so yes am watching your videos and have found you make the most sense compared to others on TH-cam. Have started practicing walking with butt crunches that you're recommended on another of your videos and found that helps. Have also adjusted a few of your exercises to suit my physical need so thanks so much for all your in depth advice and caring......and your genuine caring really comes across....God bless you for that!

Thank you so much. I’m suffering from same issue. Great information.
You're welcome! Glad we could help 😊
I believe O.Specialists promote knee replacements to make money. Thank you for your simple reliefs..they have helped me so much and avoid knee replacements.😊
I’m working on my glutes. I do not want knee replacement. I am willing to do everything you suggest. I got rid of my sciatica pain by exercising so I know therapy works. Thank you.
Thank you for all your very helpful advice.
You’re welcome Alan!
My family doctor told me to continue with the gym and walk on the flat area but not on the steps or hill but I will take your advice instead I appreciate your help God bless 🙏
Thank you Doc. I wish i had seen your video one year ago, but, im positive, ive started following your exercises, strengthening glute muscles first. Blessings to you🙏🏾
Thank you for addressing this issue, I was looking for all information about knee pain and your channel is very informative, I have a knee swelling for a long time and the doctor just told me this week about Knee arthritis I love to lose the weight but its painful to walk so what can I do to make my muscles stronger?🥰🥰
I have OA in the left knee and had meniscus surgery 7 years ago, my mobility/ability to bend the knee without pain has increased. I also believe I have a ITB band issue. The best starting exercise is the tailgate, thank you for sharing this. I am on my feet all day teaching Physical Education and it's been tough, however I have noted which types of exercises allow me to move for 30 minutes. Haven't been on a run for weeks now, just as you said too much walking not good.
Soooo much progress…thank you.
Could you please discuss hip strength in depth also?
Thank you so much for all the information you share.
You're welcome Myrna!!!
I discovered your channel and watched several videos on knees. I am so excited to learn I can exercise to help decrease the inflammation in n my knees w/o meds! Thank you for standing up for what you know is working. ❤
I’m hearing from Jamaica
I am so happy I found you! I am going to try your program.
Yay!!! We're so happy to help you Paola! We hope you get back to feeling better really fast!!!
Thanku Dr, trying very hard to work my glutes. I'm 74yrs old. Feeling a difference already.
Great explanation here David ! Thanks a lot ... amateur bodybuilding here... I was wondering why lunges are painful at first, but gradually get easier after warming up...
I have patello femoral, and inner tibio femoral syndrome. My cartilage is beginning to wear out.
The glute thing came as a shock to me, since my physician and my PT have emphasized the necessity to exercise the whole leg in order to prevent tendonitis.
I guess you don't support leg extensions !
When I can't exercise, my legs get skinny so fast it is really demoralizing. I am 55...
I've seen many of your videos and really love how compassionate you are with people.
Hi from Martinique, West Indies!
Thank you ! Using jello water . Been doing your exercises. Feeling better . Forced to use a motorized cart at Walmart. Hard surfaces are too much .
I feel I am healing .
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear Susan!!!!
Thank you for updating us on your success!!!! You've got to get that pressure off your knee in the short term!
My left knee swelled up for the first time while I was walking so I appreciate your explanation. & also your explanation regarding What movements are not beneficial & what are...Thank You. Cheers from Italy.
Thanks Doc for this valuable information. My right knee gives way at times and sometimes swollen.
I can attest to the fact that starting PT exercises created swelling in my knee and calf immediately. I was doing hamstring, calf, quad and butt exercises for the the 1st time. It felt like I re-injured my knee all over again, and I had to call off work for 2 days straight as a result.
Hi JJ, Thank you so much for tuning in! We are so sorry to hear about your experience with PT exercises and hope that has gotten better since then. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee swelling. You can check it out here:

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I'll keep you updated as therapy progresses. My therapist said she is open to anything that I want to try, which is now gonna be Glute centered exercises. Your channel has been extremely helpful for me during this journey to recovery. You talk about alternatives that no major Ortho channels have mentioned. I would love to know your sources.
I had the same experience. It was awful & demoralizing, since I was doing what a professional told me to do & my swelling and pain increased. This therapist is making sense & making a difference.
Doing tailgate swings for the first time while watching this and am blown away that just a few minutes of this has given so much relief! Definitely going to try to do this 10 times a day for awhile and see what comes of it!
Great to hear Laramertz, Let us know how it helps.
Hello
😅
Can i get you on phone
Dr David, I love your comments on knees, because I cannot get knee replacement. I have poor circulation.
Thankyou Dr. You have helped me tremendously. I absolutely love your videos.
Hi Annette, you are welcome! We are honored to be part of your healing. Thank you so much for your kind words and we wish. you continued relief! 🧡
We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
I'm sorry I missed the Live Chat. Good advice Doctor. I actually did exactly what you said that reduced the swelling of my right knee. At least I could do my house chores now compare my situation before Christmas. I could not step even one bit. By watching your videos helped me reduced the swelling. I may not be able to walk briskly, at least I could live independently and that I'm thankful for your advices. Please keep up the good work. We appreciate it a lot. God bless. 🙏❤👍
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear Teresita!!!!
Thank you for updating us on your success!!!!
Will definately take your advice. Thanks so much.
This guy is so good!! I had the arthritis diagnosed in 2017 …then I had a brain injury and I had to be virtually indoors for a year or more,,no walking , nothing. Most of all I stopped completely doing the leg raises etc. I had been told to do to get my muscles strong by PT.
My knees were brilliant I never had a twinge I never had a problem until recently I started getting out of the house I’m walking 2 miles a day more than ever in MY LIFE (66 years now) and I’m inflamed in my knee in pain and sick. I even kept walking when inflamed I was enjoying the freedom so much..I see now big mistake
You’ve got to get the right balance and you’ve got to get the right type of exercise
Dr . David I am so glad that I found your videos .
I was Dg . With OA on my right knee . I recently had a Baker’s cyst & it was very hard & painful walking . I has a hydrocortisone injection & recommended PT
After two sessions my knee was very swollen & it ‘a very hard walking & been active as grand mother for 4 year old & also working as a dental hygienist
So I start some of the exercises recommended by you for the glutes My knee start again to swollen after I had the synovial liquid removed
Please, could you advise what exercises to do to reduce the swollen .
I feel so sorry that you are not working in CA
Wow learning so much. I had foot surgery to repair a hammer toe. It was successful and I am slowly getting good balance back in my life but the surgeon green lighted me too soon to go back to bowling an I ended up tearing my lateral meniscus the fist day back. This channel is a godsend. I will definitely be working on the glutes, drinking water, tailgates and managing my time on my feet. Thank you

Glad I got in at the last minute to say Hi while u were live - thanks for the shout out. Made my day !
Folks listen to this man ! I did and after 2 months of the knee program the pain is minimal, the swelling is down, I can move around easier in bed and can get up and down stairs normally again, even in the morning - before I found Dr D I was struggling with even one step at a time on the stairs. If ur having an extra sore day just ease up on the exercise - listen to ur body. I find I need to move every 40 mins or so. First I do the tailgate swings and then do some of Dr D's knee exercises and I'm good for another 40 mins. I have OA and torn cartilage in both knees but I'm definitely on the right track to heal. No meds and no injections and my goal is to avoid surgery. Thank you so much David.
Can you help me please l really need this program but l can't get it

"5 Minute Knee Arthritis Stretches That Actually Relieve Severe Stiffness"
th-cam.com/video/nburzOBT1ok/w-d-xo.html
When my knees were swollen, I performed knee rehab& foot exercises on the floor. That way I could still exercise, but very gently. Within a week, my knees were better, and I could do more intense exercises because my knees could tolerate it. Now I continually do these exercises as preventative care.
What are the exercises for knee rehab & foot exercises that are working? TYA
@@wren1114 Search for knee and foot pain exercises by physiotherapist on TH-cam
Tailgate swings have saved me! Sometimes a long drive can really painfully irritate my right knee. Since I drive an old truck, I will take a driving break to swing my legs for a minimum of five minutes and I'm able to continue my journey: it is NOT my imagination that my knee feels 100% better! TG swings, glute and toe clenches are all suggestions that have tremendously helped my 66yo knees. I know these aren't "cures" but I'm so grateful for the relief these exercises provide, and I thank you, Dr. Middaugh!
This is the best information yet. thank you for everything you have shared here. I have just had a menisectomy. Actually that was about three months ago and I’m still struggling with a lot of pain. I love what you had to say about the PRP injections. Going to the doctor tomorrow to check those out. Working on my glutes. Loved hearing everything you said. Is there a hope for me after having a meniscectomy?
Hey Dawn! We're glad to hear that you're working on your glutes! That's the best priority to have right now. There definitely is hope after having a menisectomy. Getting more glute strength, and using it well during walking and other movements, dramatically takes pressure off knees to keep your meniscus in the best health possible. Best of luck to you with the doctor!
Such helpful advice. I've found my knee swells doing the exercises recommended for OA by physios and the ones you say are the wrong ones are exactly the ones that make my knee swell. I do have a glut imbalance and follow your exercise regime which is building up that inactive glut. Thank you so much.
These videos have help me so much . Can you do some videos on the arm and elbow. The doctors can not find out what's wrong. The person I'm asking this for has so much pain in the elbow even when carrying grocery in I can forward the video to him .
You're welcome Pamela!!! We're glad that you've become aware of this now so you can do the right things. Sorry you've had to have more knee swelling though :-(
Get those glutes going!!!
@Vera Freck. We're so happy you've benefitted from our videos. Dr. David has plans on making more videos for the rest of the body. Stay tuned, they're coming!
Hi, thanks for all this useful information. I do suffer with swelling .
Hi… thank you so much for your exercises which were never explained to me. I am so grateful because I have OA and I don’t want surgery on my knee so I will do the exercises you suggest faithfully. It’s nice to have you so close by I live outside of El Paso.
Dr David your loud and clear
I already had one knee replaced. The other one has been giving me a hard time for some months now. The pain is excrutiating, the swelling is great and is affecting me a lot, my life is limited greatly. I like your advice and videos. Writing from Puerto Rico.

Thank you Mary!! We hope you get back to 100% really fast!!!
hi, I can hear you n I look forward to info on my os knee n ankle. I'm getting almost back from a flare-up over 6 months ago. Dr. suggested total knee replacement. I did cortisone shot, knee stopped hurting and ankle swelling from bone to bone. My 1st setback health wise as a 69yo senior.
Keep these videos coming as it's giving me hope n options 🙏
Hi Brenda! 👋 We are so sorry to hear about the flare-up that you were suffering with for 6 months!

While sitting, will either alternating or simultaneously tightening your glutes also be beneficial? I am so excited to have been led to your videos! My chiropractor is the one who suggested speaking to the knee surgeon. The orthopedic surgeon, who only does knee replacements, suggested I try physical therapy, after I explained why I would not do steroid shots. I am retired and arthritis & cartilage reduction have begun to affect my activities. I am not someone who sees a doctor very often, I do not take any prescriptions but try to limit sugars, gluten, pastas, breads etc and use herbs and oils. I have begun to do PT and the mat exercises, they are having me do, have been more successful with my concentrating on firing my butt muscles, using your suggestion! By adding your walking, stairclimbs, light cycling, leg swings and using my glutes videos to my days, I am beginning to get excited about healing and being able to walk my dogs around the lake again and explore the woods again (it's almost mushroom season 😊)! Bless you and your sharing this vital information! I look forward to watching and following all your videos. ❤ Thank you! 🤗 P
Hey Pauletta! Yes, tightening the glutes while sitting is beneficial. Alternating sides is great to master control over the muscles. Then as you get better, tightening as hard as possible for 10+ seconds would be great to do. It's great to hear that you're doing better with our advice!!! YAYYYYY!!!!
We wish you the best this upcoming mushroom season!!! 🍄
Can hear
I am trying to lose weight at the same time I am dealing with both knees with osteoarthritis. It's so frustrating. Should I just focus on calorie intake?
I am glad I found your channel, my biggest problem is I cant sleep properly from the pain, the tailgate swings are the best...
Hey Klara, we are thrilled you found us! We are so sorry to hear that you haven't been able to sleep properly due to the pain you are in. It's concerning to hear because it means you are not getting the rest you need to heal and it can start to take a toll on your emotional and mental health. It's encouraging to hear that you are doing the tailgate swings because that will help the joint get the synovial fluid going in the joint. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee swelling. You can check it out here: “Knee Swelling Help”

Found This channel on my U Tube. Thanks so much!! I’m a 58 year old Female & hurt my knee by over doing lunges& squates. After months & having an x-ray the Dr put me on an arthritis cream 4 times a day as needed. X-rays show no damage to my knee but swelling is causing arthritis problems. Your video exercises have really helped lots!! Thank you-a thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Life changing FOR SURE❤. Thanks from NC
Hey Lynn, you are so welcome! We are so glad we were able to help you! We appreciate the support!
Hey doc can you do a session on bow legs....I don't know if only glute exercises are enough for healing knee pain in this condition
Hey Jayesh, we'll pass this suggestion over to Dr. David and see when he can do it. Thanks!
Great videos. Here the million dollar question. I have minor swelling in one knee with inner knee pain. I can fully extend it outward with no pain but when I bend it backwards to do a quad stretch it really hurts behing my knee limiting how far back I can go. Any feedback or exercises would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Real Estate Maffit!!! That sounds very much like it could be the beginning of a Baker's Cyst since you've got minor swelling and difficulty and pain bending it back all the way. You can learn more about Baker's Cysts here:

Thanks for your reply but my swelling is in the front of my knee. Very strange. I'll check your videos doc 😁
Same problem
Wife had PT twice a week for 3 weeks- minor swelling around knee developed into hardness
with major pain. Worried about blood cloths, had x-rays arthritis diagnosis and recommendation by Dr to get PT, watch for 30 days and if no improvement a steroid injection. Found you on TH-cam - rested wife immediately and she began glute exercises-
In addition I messaged swollen knee and leg area with CBD oil. After 7-8 days swelling went down substantially. Will meet with PT next week and share your valuable knowledge.
Thank you very much and God Bless. If you ever are coming to Boston area, please let me know.
Love your video's. The way you explain things. Thank you. 😊
Hey Christine, you are so welcome! We are so glad you are enjoying our content!
For my swelling I get a whole head of celery, cut it up in small pieces, use the biggest cooking pot and add water and bring to a boil, then put a lid on it and steep. Steep and drink it. Can keep in refridgerator and heat up I microwave or drink cold.
Hey Denise! We've heard great things about celery too! Thanks for this tip!!!
When I stay home on a Sunday, the swelling goes down completely. As soon as I go out to work standing, the swelling is back.
Hey Sherwin, hopefully the information in this video is helpful for you and you can improve on that!
Hi, just recovering a broken tibia and now swollen painful front and back knee. Thank you for you advice 😊
