For so many people, when they're in chronic pain, the price (whatever it might be) isn't much of a consideration.

Especially if it's 24/7.

I had both knees done about 10 years ago ( torn medial minscus) and was back skiing and ice climbing within 3 weeks. Have never had a problem since and still ice and rock climb along with skiing and hiking. BUT everytime I kneel or have to be on my knees for extended period I baby the piss out of them! Cause I want to beat the crap out of them on the weekends.. Knee pads and standing breaks all the time, Ortipedic doc told me most of your problems come from spending too much time with legs folded, and if your legs are falling asleep your doing damage to all your joints especially the knees.

I had arthroscopic knee surgery in 2002 and it took a long time to get over it. The meniscus was completely torn a loose behind my knee cap. They had to stitch the meniscus back and drill holes in the bone to make it bleed. I think they said blood flow makes Cartledge grow.
I baby my knees and use knee pads all the time. I try to set Indian style as much as possible until that starts to hurt my back.

TimChaput69 · 07-29-2012, 09:46 AM

Ugg!! Just the thought of sitting indian style makes my knees ache!! I try to avoid that.

Or try German style, squat with one leg and the other is straight and to the side.

Yeah I hear you, but I quit drinking 28 years ago. I also quit all the pain meds. I was up to 8 Aleves a day. Now I'm trying the Japanese system of putting my pain in a compartment where it is contained.

I want some of those lime green ones. Seriously, though, hard to know what works up in a attic without trying some of these. Hard to tell from a website.

Waah

OK, for starters I am 54 yes 54 years old, Master Electrician 36 years. Electrical Contractor 26 years. I just want to tell you, first stop seeing doctors. They treat problems with drugs, because that is how they were trained. if you were trained to splice inside a conduit, tape it up and pull it back in then maybe you won't understand this. You are what you eat. If you crap, you're not going to feel good. When you're in the attic you can relieve your knees by walking on your toes and hands for a while. If you're sitting on a bucket to do plugs you're going too slow. Back to health and diet. If you eat acidic foods you will have joint problems. EAT FOODS THAT LEAN TOWARDS THE ALKALINE SIDE OF THE TABLE! You can Google it Acid / Alkaline foods. If you can't find anything email me. I would be happy to help. My wife had cancer twice and won!!! So we did a lot of research. I have no more knee pain, popping etc. I had those problems for years. And I still carry a heavier pouch than any of the people that I work with. You also need to do exercises that will strengthen the areas of your body that you are having trouble with. I am living proof that you don't need to feel bad. I lived on Pepsi and Snickers for ten tears and felt like crap. Now I eat healthy, feel strong and feel great!!! Good luck and stay away from "Doctors" They will poison you with drugs and send you to an early grave.
