The issue is…some of this advice is probably terrific for certain knee issues. This poster doesn’t KNOW what her knee issues are. For example…someone here suggested squats…and weights. For MY knee issue, I was specifically told NOT ever to do squats, and certainly not with weights. But that’s MY knee issue, and I went to an ortho to find out what was what.

We had a friend who recently had two knee replacements. Her BMI was also in the overweight but not obese category. Her doctor flatly refused to do any surgery (which she needed) until she lost 25 pound. It took more than a few months but she did it.
