From what I know cycling can aggravate CP as well as sometimes causing it, which makes my job hard. There isn't much difference between stationary/non-stat...
That's very interesting. I will keep an eye on the responses. I couldn't swim any of the normal strokes the last time I went swimming -- the pressure on the...
I'll offer a different answer just to highlight that "it depends" seems to be the curse of this affliction ;-) First, my OS said he usually recommends bikes...
hi guys, i havent posted in a while. i went to a cartilage regeneration specialist and he said that he doesnt think that carticel will help me. he thinks that...
It is absolutely possible for inactivity (=weaker muscles) to make your knees hurt worse when you use them, esp. when you suddenly become more active -- more...
I completely agree with Ann, the less you do less you can tolerate. Common sense tells you that when you first start feeling your pain....rest. That was the ...
thank you for your responses. cause i know if i asked a doctor they would have some lame response for me. I moved from NYC in 2005 and from 2005-2006 i went ...
Hi guys and gals, Ive been reading an awful lot about newer cartilage regeneration techniques like iagh, carticel, and salucartilage. all of these seem to...
I got it on Tuesday, and picked up the report today. I was really nervous, but it doesn't seem bad. The MRI was on the right knee only, I wish the doctor had...
MRI's don't show everything due to the width between slices. My last knee MRI showed a small meniscal tear but I had a big one. I think "signals" means the...
Hello fellow Chondro people, I've never posted a message to this group but I joined a while back because I was so frustrated by no one understanding this...
I also feel the right exercises are the only thing that works. Which weight lifting exercises do you do? Is there any machine at the gym that doesn't hurt...
As for me, I was always able to use the Stairmaster, because you can take small steps (but it was aerobic for me), even if I couldn't walk very far. Quien...
Congratulations on finding a solution. Your trainer must be very good. I also had good results from starting basically from toddler level & working up slowly...
Hi, My name is Darlena and I haven't posted in awhile. I have Chondromalacia in both knees. In Dec 06, right after Christmas, I got hurt on my job, tripping...
Ann, I also had the Synvisc. My Ortho says he will do it 3 different times. I had the first set of 3 injections a few years ago so it has helped a lot but I...
My OS wouldn't even do an MRI... he said that the MRI could tell him a little, but it wouldn't tell him anything he *really* needed to know, like true size and...
Hello, The exercises I've been given that help the most seem to be leg squats against the wall, leg circles while lying down on one side, and leg raises while...
Hi my name is Faith and i have had chondromalacia for 4 years now.it has been so painful and it has not gone away.I have chronic pain with itand i have to take...

Wow! What a saga! I know exactly what you mean about how you were treated at work. I'm sorry they did that to you, and also that you have FM and CFS. That...
Your docs have obviously not had chondromalacia. It hurts if you do things that cause the lesion to rub against the bone, and it may hurt if you sit too long...
He told me they only do it 3 different times. He is looking into doing something with the kneecap itself, either replacement or resurfacing but wants to wait...
I have had it for the last four years too. I have pain every day. I have had two chondroplasty. But neither did any good. My first OS I did not trust, But...
I think you will find lots of people here have pain every day. Sorry to hear you're one of them. Keep trying to find ways out of it, don't give up! That seems...
Hi Faith, In my opinion, your doctor doesn't know what he is talking about. I have Chondramacia in both knees and they NEVER stop hurting. In April I had a...
Darlena, I agree with you-I have a great doctor but she never pays much attention to this Chondro. I'm 43 and my pain never stops either. Its always with you...
