Fix Your Own Knee Pain

Since I have much pain in my body and mainly the knee and back I was looking for body pain and came across this article pertaining to knee pain. I think I might need to study this and thought I would share it here. Amazing of all the websites out there that I've never even knew about. This is only part of the article you can read the rest by following the Read the Rest at the end of the post.

Thanks

Don't Worry - Knee pain is easy to fix. This summary will show you how to quickly stop common sources of knee pain. Then you no longer will get the pain and your knees can heal. Not all exercise is medicine. Not all medicine is healthy. We change that.

No health insurance needed. Much of costs, time, and worry currently spent in medical treatments are unnecessary, and often unhealthful. It's not health care if it's not healthy. I have developed information through years of research in the lab, and put it here on my web site for the benefit of the world. Get better and the world will be better.

A Short History of Developing These Methods (skip this paragraph if you want to go straight to fix knee pain)
I am a trained research scientist. I started lab research studies in the 1970s to find why standard knee and other pain exercises and treatments didn't work. I saw that injury rehab info was not being applied to how people move and live. I applied it. People got better. When I was working on studies of the human body during immersion for combat swimmers, the experimental subjects, the physicians, and others in the lab kept saying they had all these aches and pains. The exercises their PTs and docs gave them did not work or made them worse. I fixed them up. Their doctors started calling me (calling the lab actually, as I don't have a phone) asking how I fixed them so well. They (and their physicians) started coming to study with me directly. In the 1980s, class participants asked me to write everything down for them. I was surprised. I thought they should have taken notes. I typed information sheets for them. More doctors came to me after taking my classes, saying they knew their standard Patient Handouts were ineffective exercises. They asked me to make handouts for their patients. I was surprised. Again. I thought they could do that themselves. I typed Patient Handout sheets for them. I kept collecting data like a good scientist, doing studies to test and retest methods, and develop better ones. In the 1990s I typed everything in several training manuals that became books. One is Health & Fitness In Plain English - How To Be Happy, Healthy and Fit for the Rest of your Life. After two different publishers, the new THIRD edition of How To Be Happy, Healthy and Fit... eliminates wrong things previous publishers added over my objections. Another book is Fix Your Own Pain Without Drugs or Surgery, with patient stories in every chapter showing why patients get better, or don't, and why. Several more books of my life's work tell how to make life pain free, stronger, and more fun. Each book is different. Fitness and rehab myths and fads come and go, but these methods remain effective over time. Get the books on the BOOKS page, and at the bottom of this article. More about me in Research. Now go get better.

Answers In A Nutshell

1.
Knee pain is not a disease or "condition" or something that once you have, you have it for life. It is usually an injury like a sprained ankle, that with a little common sense and information, can heal and you can be better than before.
2.
You do not need surgery or extended medical treatments or bed rest to relieve most knee pain.
3.
You do not need to give up impact activities like running or martial arts, give up weights or heavy occupational work, or activities you love to do - By changing your movement habits to healthy ones, you will get the built in exercise you need for health while you prevent the causes of most back pain
4. Not all knee pain is from what shows on an x-ray or other test or scan. You are not doomed by scan results.
5.
Knee muscle, cartilage, or joint injury are not causes of the problem - they are RESULTs of what you are doing to hurt your knees - things you can fix yourself. Even when inflammation or immune response are identified, they are results, not causes. Understand and fix causes instead of using drugs and surgery for the results.
6. Common medicines and prescription drugs can cause knee pain. Un-neeeded treatments and surgeries are done - causing more pain and reduction in physical ability. Easy changes can stop the need for harmful medicines.
7. This article explains all the above. Make sure you understand the concepts (many highlighted in green).

Knee Pain - Why?

Most people know that bending and standing badly will cause a sore back. The same is true for knees. Legs have posture and position during movement. After years of bad habits they can begin to ache. Knee pain that comes on suddenly is often the result of gradually pressuring and straining over months or years.

Instead of doing a bunch of artificial rehab exercises then going back to damaging daily life movement, try living and moving in healthy ways. Here is how:

After watching him on his Road to Redemption a few times, and his jail time I think many of us were hoping he would last longer than 9 months before he was busted. It's really sad they put him in the limelight on a reality show and made him somewhat of a person some kids looked up to because of his show, yet here he is 9 months later busted for sizzurp.

They made DJ AM a huge idol to many when he had his reality show as well.
It's ridiculous what Hollywood does for money sometimes...

Sorry needed to vent, after reading some of the other message boards, it's just sad.....

anonimity kind of

does anyone else feel this way. I have been riding motorcycles all my life. I have hung around some of the local sober motorcycle clubs and really have not really to my liking. One of the reasons I think I feel this way is the patch that identifies me as sober. In the beginning I had the shame and refused to break my anonymity in public. I am 16 years sober now. I dont care who knows I am a alcoholic. I openly tell people. I have started to hang out with some veterans org and thought of joining a motorcycle club one sponsors. They do drink but have respected my wishes not to. The thing I have noticed in all of this and I dont mean this derogatory. In public.I prefer to not be recognized as a alcoholic. I would prefer to be seen as a veteran in this example. It seems many of my aa friends are kinda giving me a little ribbing like what is the big deal. I really have no problem standing up and saying what where when why or how I got sober. Is this odd to feel this way? Any one else gone down this path
