Left Knee with arthritis
Morning- I can still walk at nearly 90 but obviously a little painful at times. Knee Surgeon advised replacement not necessary but carry on walking and do exercises. Haven't followed this up because of a variety of problems but wondering if you have any simple knee exercises which would help.
Thank you

Hello @Oldfella90 and welcome to the Community.
So good to hear that you are still keeping active. You ask about simple knee exercises, have a look at the following video made by Versus Arthritis.
Please let us know how you get on.
Best wishes
Peter

Quick hello from me to you @Oldfella90
Lovely to meet you.
I just want to give you a pat on the back and say well done for keeping going. This morning on my walk I saw a chap I know who is 96 and still walks every day albeit slowly. People like you two inspire me. Thank you
Fantastic to read your post.

Thank you Frogmorton. The knee surgeon said replacement not necessary and that if my knee was a house I'd be down to the floorboards, no carpets left.
It's a question of building up muscle to support the knee by exercises. I'm following Will Harlow on Youtube Physio for the over 50s.
I hope by 96 I'll still be able to get around- good on him. We've just got to keep going as long as we can. Have a good weekend.
