Jean, a runner diagnosed with arthritis, had given up on running due to concerns about worsening her condition. However, after hearing an interview that challenged the conventional wisdom, she sought guidance on how to safely resume running. The episode highlights the research showing that running is not harmful to knees and can actually be beneficial. It emphasizes the importance of overall health and the misconception that knee arthritis is solely caused by running. The three-step runner's knee protocol is introduced, focusing on muscle strengthening, structural reinforcement, and training refinement. Jean's success story demonstrates the potential for long-term running and physical fitness despite arthritis. Takeaways Running is not bad for knees and can be beneficial for individuals with knee arthritis. The health of the knee joint is influenced by overall health and fitness. The three-step runner's knee protocol involves muscle strengthening, structural reinforcement, and training refinement. Continuing to run and maintain physical fitness can improve quality of life and prevent the progression of knee arthritis.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Matthew P. Abdel, M.D. Arthritis of the hip or knee is a common cause of pain and disability. It can cause significant limitations in mobility and a reduced quality of life. Hip and knee replacements have the potential to change all that. They're safe, have a high success rate and can allow the patient to get back to a healthy, active lifestyle. Who's a candidate for a hip or knee replacement? What's the optimal timing of the procedure? What's important in obtaining an optimal outcome from surgery and what are the complications of a hip or knee replacement? Our guest for today's podcast is Matthew P. Abdel, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. He'll be answering these questions and more as we discuss the surgical management of hip and knee arthritis.  https://www.usdairy.com/about-us/national-dairy-council Connect with the Mayo Clinic's School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.   

In this episode of the Better Edge podcast, Vehniah K. Tjong, MD, answers the frequently asked question: does running increase the risk of hip and knee arthritis? She discusses a recent survey of 3,800 runners from the 2019 and 2021 Bank of America Chicago Marathons.

Supplementing with essential amino acids (EAA) after total knee replacement may be helpful. Two studies have shown that supplementing with EAA for one week before and two weeks after surgery, patients had less atrophy of their muscle and it improved outcomes.Check with your doctor to see if these might be beneficial for you.The two brands I recommend to my patients are:Thorne - https://amzn.to/3EiFTWAPure Encapsulations - https://amzn.to/38JnI0qThe two articles:Essential amino acid supplementation in patients following total knee arthroplasty by Hans Dreyer in The Journal of Clinical Investigation in 2013andPerioperative essential amino acid supplementation suppresses rectus femoris muscle atrophy and accelerates early functional recovery following total knee arthroplasty by Hideki Ueyama in The Bone and Joint Journal 2020 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/YourKneeYourHealth)

Due to the nature of a hinge joint structure & weight-bearing requirements the knees are easily subject to injury. This is especially true when it comes to playing sports and athletics that can inflict trauma on the knee. Managing Acute Knee Injuries The supporting structures of the knees(medial and lateral collateral ligaments), the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, hamstrings, surrounding quadriceps, pes anserine tendons and iliotibial band. The medial and lateral menisci protect the articular cartilage surfaces. Given the complexity of the knee, taking a thorough history of the patient's injury and symptoms is perhaps the most important part of making the diagnosis Knee Injury types and testing The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) originates from the medial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle, twists degrees (adding tensile strength), and inserts onto a tubercle along the anterior tibial plateau. MRI scans for a possible torn ACL is done with the knee in 30 degrees flexion with the thigh stabilized, exerting a forward motion on the tibia. Any more than a few mm of motion would be abnormal. The pivot shift test is performed by lifting the distal leg, allowing the tibia to fall posteriorly, and adding mild internal rotation and valgus stress. If abnormal, the tibia will sublux further. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is tested in a posterior direction and feeling for a firm or soft endpoint feel, which might indicate a partial or complete tear Links from the show notes: The acute swollen knee: diagnosis and management Knee Injury (ACL, MCL, LCL) Symptoms, Signs Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Injuries Management of acute knee injuries Common Knee Injuries Previous Episodes: Rotator Cuff Tears Shoulder & Elbow Pain : Do You Need Surgery?

After having spine surgery, most expect your back or neck problem to be solved. But, sometimes, it doesn't happen. Pain and other symptoms may return in a phenomenon known as failed back surgery (FBS). Also called failed back surgery syndrome and post-laminectomy syndrome, FBS can affect any level of your spine, and it can be a frustrating experience for patients and doctors alike. Risk Factors That Increase Chances of FBSS Several factors may influence whether you have failed back surgery syndrome after your spine surgery, and they may occur pre-operative (before your surgery), intraoperative (during your surgery due to complications), and post-operative (after your surgery) Treatments That Improve Your Quality of Life After Failed Back Surgery Haaving another spine surgery might not produce the outcomes you expected & can be extremely disappointing, but stem cell therapies may help reduce back pain and restore your ability to function in everyday life. Not all patient pain complaints can be fixed with spine surgery.

Arthroscopic joint replacement involves the doctor inserting a microdiscectomy through the hip joint and into the surrounding muscles and tissues. This helps to rebuild your cartilage and decrease pain but you may need to have more than one treatment. Medications that are used to treat hip osteoarthritis include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, and steroidal solutions. . These medications can also be used to treat other conditions besides osteoarthritis to reduce the stiffness and pain caused by arthritis in the knees, hips, and ankles. In some cases, your doctor may recommend surgery to replace the damaged cartilage in your hip osteoarthritis or non-surgical stem cell treatment for hip. The femoral head is then replaced on the opposite side of the hip joint so that the femoral head is placed on the underside of the tibial surface. This allows the femoral head to better absorb shock and reduce friction that can cause bone spurs in your hip joint.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is earmarked by systemic inflammation and damage to joints and surrounding tissues. This can be brought on by many different ways including injury and/or infection as a triggers, genetic predispositions and environmental factors to name a few. What is poorly understood is the role that hormones and mineral deficiency play in RA. We will also explore the impact of cortisol deficiency as a factor for chronic inflammation in shoulder/hip joints and immune function control. This is our first episode in 2022 so we want to start off with the most commonly asked subject and try to explain why patients with RA, Knee Osteoarthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Gout or Lupus should have regular lab tests & assessments to better figure out optimal treatment options for regenerating tissues and eliminating deficiencies.

I have been reading and learning more and more about CBD lately. I am excited for all of the research that is beginning to come out. The ACES (Advancing Cannabinoid Education & Science) Trial is scheduled to be released in a few months. I have talked with the founders at Corganics who produce CBD in three forms with a very stringent process with third party testing. A quarter of products on the market have no purity testing and almost a quarter contain THC. You need to be cautious and aware of what you use and what you buy to make sure that it is safe for you.

Covid is once again ravaging the world and the healthcare systems that people depend on. The United States spends more per person than any other country in the world yet the US does not have the best health metrics.Covid has not helped. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Doctors, nurses and other hospital workers are at the breaking point. PPE is still limited. Elective surgeries are cancelled. Wait times are longer than ever.The future is bleak. Many have left the profession of healthcare. I doubt many people will look eagerly to enter medical school, nursing school or some other hospital based profession. Patients will still need care. The ability to access care will be compromised. Wait times will be longer. Patients will suffer. The future is coming but it will be different and the effects of covid will leave a stain on healthcare systems for a long time. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/YourKneeYourHealth)

There are a number of different types of arthritis that can affect the knees. However, the most common form is rheumatoid arthritis, which commonly affects people who are in their thirties or forties. People who are in their sixties and seventies are at the highest risk for developing this condition. However, there is a difference between knee oa rheumatoid arthritis and normal rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, the symptoms of both conditions often mirror each other, which makes it difficult for a person to accurately tell the difference between them. There are some prescription medications that are effective in treating knee osteoarthritis, and one such medication is the popular anti-inflammatory steroid, ibuprofen. It is important that you check with your doctor before taking any medications, particularly if you already have another medical condition. Studies have shown that women who take ibuprofen have a reduction in the severity of their osteoarthritis pain compared to those who don't take the medication. According to new research, anti-inflammatory medicines do not help prevent further damage to the cartilage lining but they do slow down the progression of the disease. This is a very beneficial result when you consider how fast this condition progresses once it begins. Other factors that can lead to knee osteoarthritis include infection, injury, trauma, and differential diagnosis. Many conditions that affect the bones around the joints can also contribute to this condition. These include bursitis, gout, and kidney stones. Bursitis refers to swelling in the bursa, which is necessary for protecting the joint against friction. Gout is a condition that involves the accumulation of uric acid crystals within the joints; these crystals cause intense pain, stiffness, and damage around the affected areas.
