Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Hey Guys I understand the knee thing. I too have needed knee replacements for years but refuse to have them at 51..in fact---I don't ever want them if at all possible. What helps me in addition to Celebrex---is to water walk and water exercise with waterweights in a heated indoor pool at my exercise club. I exercise in the water for 1-2 hrs 5 days a week. If I don't get in the water----I can't hardly make it. It just seems to be the difference in me managing this extreme arthritis in my knees and in fact all over my body. The knees hurt the worst--no doubt. I also do all the knee exercises on the machines. So try the water---it can't hurt and it is also very effective in maintaining weight and builds energy too. Just my 2 cents worth. Sherry in Knoxville TN BLUZGAL REMEMBER---LIFE IS A JOURNEY--NOT A DESTINATION! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
