Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sounds as if you are pounding the knee joint when one foot hits the next lower step. The pounding is shocking the padding in the knee (guess) and that is probably the result of not having enough strength in the leg to lower yourself gently.< You know, , I think you have pounded the nail on the head! I have become aware that my right foot is hitting the step a lot harder than it used to, and I believe that this is caused by weakness. As one grows older, HA decreases in the body so the first thing that you need to do is take things that retain the water in the padding in the joints. That is HA.< I'll put this on my next supplement order. Anyone have any suggestions as to which brand to buy? I have had very good results with this only doing 10 squats a day.< That sounds doable. I guess I can find info on line regarding the most effective way to do this. I also use DMSO on my knees every night before going to bed because I also had problems with my knees (now 61 years).< This also sounds doable. >Rather than free weights or weight machines, many use surgical tubing and actually automotive shock absorbers.< Don't know about shock absorbers (other than the ones in my knees), but I actually have some resistance bands gathering dust. I guess they would be comparable to surgical tubing? >surgical tubing training is slow and without any impact or acceleration. Hope this helps.< It sounds very helpful! Thanks a lot!
