I have osteo arthritis does any one have any good exercises i can do. I need to lose weight? |
but all the excerises i try put to much stress on the knees. I cant even do the stationary bike anymore. I really want to lose this weight any ideas. I do swim several days a week but that is not enough. i know i need to do more Because osteoarthritis (OA) cannot be cured, treatment concentrates on pain management, improving function and slowing the degeneration of joints. Knowledge about the likely course of OA may help people preserve or improve function of joints and learn ways to manage the condition. Many OA treatment methods may also be used to slow the progress of joint degeneration or prevent further damage. For instance, many lifestyle factors can be adjusted for OA, including getting adequate amounts of sleep, resting when experiencing fatigue, avoiding activities that place stress on the joints and wearing appropriate shoes and clothing. Regular exercise can help maintain muscle tone and improve flexibility and range of motion for joints. Research indicates that exercise may slow progression of OA and strengthen cartilage in the joints. There's some great information on exercise and therapy at the link below: http://pain.health.ivillage.com/arthriti... Feel better : ) walk walk walk self I have osteo arthritis and I have the same problems with my weight. Swimming is the key. And water exercises. Do jumping jacks in the water, hike in the water, ski in the water, keep going. Also, I am finding that if I take an anti-inflamatory just before I go to the pool, I can exercise longer. It's hard, but I'm losing a pound a week. Good luck. Well swimming is great but you could also try a pool exercise program. Check with your local Arthritis Association for a program near you. You can also find exercise program videos especially for people who have mobility problems. I have degenerative disk disease and bad knees(torn cartilage) I know its impossible to get off the floor when your knees are gone so chair exercise is a better choice. Good luck ! You can get better, believe in yourself. |
