[QUOTE="Killertraylor, post: 2643361, member: 10842"] My knees can feel this thread, lol. Only 52, but have been overweight most of my life. Two surgeries on the left knee and one on the right. The right is now bone on bone (8/10 pain just walking) and my surgeon is recommending Total knee replacement. I got a Zilretta time release steroid shot in the right knee a few weeks ago which allowed me to walk 3 miles a day and start PT to strengthen the quads and hamstrings. I also quit drinking and lost 20 lbs and still going. Knee pain is completely gone - hoping its not just the steroid shot and I can lose more weight and make it last. Most orthopaedic surgeons I talk to say weight loss and quad strengthening regimen are the best things you can do for the knees. [/QUOTE]
