I recently had knee surgery. I have tried a number of things. I still push through the pain and walk for 30 minutes a day. I gained 20 plus pounds from not being mobile, so now I’m starting over a little at a time.

I have done most of these exercises as strengthening for my knees under professional instruction. At this point, my knees have deteriorated to the point that “low impact” no longer is the issue. The issue is now the motion causing grinding of bone on bone. So for me, any of the exercises that require weight or high repetition of movement are out.

In reply to Leslie. Thank you Leslie. Your story is very encouraging. My knees are hurting right now. Before coming to this site, I was just wondering what exercise could I do right now? The fact that you have implemented these exercises and it is working is very encouraging. I'm going to start off with this stretching tape I purchased.
