Ounce by ounce I lose... thank goodness I'm going down! My visit to the orthopedic surgeon wasn't great (too young for a full knee replacement, which I don't want anyway), but gave me encouragement that I can't wreck my knee any more than it already is. He encouraged me to do as much exercise as I want to -- as long as I don't hurt. He told me to forget about "no pain, no gain" because that applies to muscles getting into shape, not knees with no cartilage and a torn meniscus :)
The exercise bike is still my first choice, but I've been looking at some low-impact videos online because I like to move around and have a little fun. A 10-15 minute program is about what I can handle right now, and I'm motivated to start toning this flab that's a byproduct of losing weight.
I'm also SUPER ready to get into a new color group on this site, so go, go, go!!!

I'm waiting for an approval from the insurance company to see if I can get injections of hyaluronic acid. It's supposed to be a viscous gel that fills in all the gaps. My sister says it works for about 2 years at a time for her. My goal is to put off any kind of surgery (arthroscopic or otherwise) for at least 5 more years (which would take me to age 60). My doc agrees.

Water aerobics. Look into Silver Sneakers if you're older and you may be able to join a club for free.

Sounds like you're on the right track - and I agree with @Baskington - Yoga is great for toning. I'm going to build it into my schedule again - I think it'll help with my belly!

"knee with no cartilage and a torn meniscus" !!! What about pain ? Orthopedic doctors in Greece suggest preventively hyaluronic acid injections at the other healthy knee because they think it comes next.

I agree with the water exercise. We have a community pool but it's not heated in the fall/winter and I am a huge wuss. My husband is in Silver Sneakers and goes to a water aerobics class at his gym, but I am still young enough to be working during that time :) Even walking in a pool would be better than nothing, so I'll have to see what kind of time frames we're looking at. I'm not adverse to getting up and going out again after dinner, but I am NOT a morning person and there's really no way I'm going to work out in a pool then smell like chlorine for the rest of the day at work. Blech.

I have arthritis in my knees as well though it is unicompartmental. I just started wearing a knee brace, an unloader, and though it can be a little uncomfortable my knee pain is pretty much gone when I wear my brace. And when I do take it off it stays gone for awhile.

I have knee osteoarthritis. In 2006 at age 50 I had microfracture plus lateral release on my left knee. It has worked really well for me - I wear neoprene braces to snow ski but have no pain in my normal activities. I'm hoping to avoid knee replacement!

We have quite a few in our knee pain group! gz9gjg, my doc told me I was eligible for two different "partial" knee replacements; maybe one is like yours? I'm going to go ahead and try the goo and see what happens. I used to work for a doctor who performed prolotherapy, but I'm not quite sure if it's right for me.

Water exercise is wonderful for those of us who hate to sweat too. And so much easier on the joints.

Can you ask your doctor if Vericel's tissue growth would be an option for you? Biotech firms like this are providing alternative to full knee replacement for some patients. This may be an option. Just spitballing.

Terrapin12, I have an HMO, so anything new and groovy probably won't be covered. The doc I worked for who does prolotherapy also does PRP injections -- Platelet Rich Plasma -- which are supposed to stimulate growth of new tissue (like cartilage). I just don't know...

Microfracture is an arthroscopic procedure that causes the bone ends to resurface to be smooth. Lateral release is cutting a tendon to cause it to lengthen so that it didn't pull my kneecap out of position.
