[QUOTE="planetwaves, post: 1768100, member: 84697"] I had a more severe knee problem about 7 years. I thought I was headed for knee replacements. Went to a doctor that specializes in knees. He examined me then took some xrays. He said there was no arthritis or bone spurs, but the muscles and ligaments had developed in an out of balance way from exercises I had done over the years, and were putting tensions on my knees, causing the pain. He referred me to a physical therapist. After evaluating my range of motion and flexibility, he taught me some stretches and exercises targeted at muscles and ligaments that affect the knees, gave me a sheet of paper with pictures and instructions and I was supposed to do it twice a day. He had me come in twice a week, and as I progressed he added to and modified my targeted workouts. It was painful for the first few weeks (had to ice pack after each session) but after 4 weeks I could see a definite improvement. After 6 weeks, he finalized my “maintenance” routine, and told me to do it at least every other day. After 7 years I’m still pain free. Have been elk hunting every year since with no knee problems.
