Exercise for Knees
I have Osteoarthritis in both knees. I am looking for types of exercise that will not make them worse but strengthen them. Water exercises are out, no pool i nthe are unfortunately.
I was doing treadmill and Wii Fit in December at least 1/2 and hour a day 6 days a week. Now walking causes pain for the rest of the day. I am hoping that when the weather clears up, it will get a little better since it seems to have gotten worse wiht the weather (If I am wrong please do not tell me yet, I am enjoying the thoughts of it tight now, it is keeping me going wiht exercise even though it is only 3 days a week. )
Tried talking to PCP but he did not have anything on hand at the time.
Any help woudl be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I just joined tonight and am all over the place!! Right now I'm trying to learn about the different types of surgery that's available so I can decide what is best for me. Anyway I saw your post and it intrigued me as I have problmes with both of my knees and really need some suggestions on exercises I can do. My PCP tells me to walk but he just doesn't understand how painful it is in cold weather (there is some arthritus involved), I sure hope you get some good answers.
