Why do knees give way and can you pervent it from happening with exercise

Take a look at this thread @Blueskyday68

https://community.versusarthritis.org/discussion/54788/will-knee-exercises-help-with-ostoarthus-flair-ups-and-knee-locking-and-knees-giving-way

as you can see this is a common fear.

In case you haven't seen this already these exercises are a good place to start:

I don't know whether you have seen a physiotherapist too just to get an opinion and some exercises tailored to your needs.

Best wishes
