Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hi all, I'm a new member.I'm a fat man.My BMI is 34.1 which makes me I guess obese.I'm 5'8 " tall and weigh 224,which basically means that I'm about 70 pounds overweight.Over the last six weeks or so I have been walking,but my thighs continue to hurt,especially so when I've walked at least, for me, too far.Eight years ago I had an arthroscopy on my left knee.Every now and then I get some pain in that area.I recently had it x-rayed and the knee bone seems to scrape another bone in that area that is causing the pain.Other than that I have no more torn meniscus.I take Glucosamine and Chondroitin and fish oil softgel supplements among other medications for other medical problems.I guess the next thing for me to do is to buy a pedometer.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 welcome david. knee problems are a serious bother. have you tried swimming or water aerobics? the cold water at my gym gets to me sometimes, but i found the class to be very helpful for me. also, do you have access to something like an elliptical? this can be more gentle on your knees than walking. where do you walk? walking on cement is the hardest on the body, is there somewhere with a spongy surface or deep woodshavings? you've made a great start with the walking, hoping to get out there today. laurie > > Hi all, > I'm a new member.I'm a fat man.My BMI is 34.1 which makes me I > guess obese.I'm 5'8 " tall and weigh 224,which basically means that I'm > about 70 pounds overweight.Over the last six weeks or so I have been > walking,but my thighs continue to hurt,especially so when I've walked > at least, for me, too far.Eight years ago I had an arthroscopy on my > left knee.Every now and then I get some pain in that area.I recently > had it x-rayed and the knee bone seems to scrape another bone in that > area that is causing the pain.Other than that I have no more torn > meniscus.I take Glucosamine and Chondroitin and fish oil softgel > supplements among other medications for other medical problems.I guess > the next thing for me to do is to buy a pedometer. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
