My dog tore the tendon in his left knee in the back. He had previously torn the tendon in his right knee. Both times we used conservative treatment and the knee healed. We don't allow (although he doesn't always listen) jumping up and we've blocked off the stairs. We also only let him out in the yard and don't take him for long walks.
Should he be taken on longer walks? or do I continue with the conservative care guidelines. We can't afford to take him back to the vet yet.
Bend your right knee, raising your ankle to your hand. Grab hold of your ankle, pulling your foot towards your butt to deepen the stretch. Hold 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 2 to 4 times for each leg. If you can’t reach your foot Loop a towel around your ankle to extend your reach.
Stretch your groin, or inner thigh muscles, by sitting on the floor with the soles of your feet pressed together. Grab your ankles and gently pull your legs toward you. Go only as far as you can.
Folks, the poster said she can't do squats because of a bad knee. Until we know how bad the knee is, we can't tell her what exercises to do specifically. Also, squats as I said don't make the butt smaller, they make it more muscular somewhat, but they really more affect the part of body doing the work, which are the thighs and calves. When you do a squat, you're working the buttocks some, but the power to do them comes from the more powerful muscles beneath it.
I agree swimming would probably be the best type of exercise - at least to start. It is very easy on your joints and back. You don't necessarily have to take a formal class, just getting into the pool and swimming wiould be good. Of course, classes would be more intense and might help to keep you motivated having others there with you, but if you can't find a class or afford one, just the swimming alone would be beneficial.
Hi snehal, how are you doing? How is your knee swelling and pain now? When did you start the exercises/what kind of it are you doing and how many hours you are putting in daily? It seems the swelling is due to reactionary effusion or minor bleeding due to injury. Even patellar bursitis causes the same swelling in knee.

Teen girls should get at least 60 minutes of cardio exercise per day, recommends the U.S. Office on Women’s Health.
d say just listen to your own body and make notes when you notice a symptom, then take the list with you to the doc. What matters is what you feel.
Since maybe half of people with Lyme also have other diseases that the same ticks bring, it's important for the doc to know all *your* symptoms to deduce whether you might have one of those 'bonus' diseases, because those infections often need different meds from Lyme.
Your physical therapist may show you how to tape your knee to reduce pain and enhance your ability to exercise. You may be able to return to activities such as running, but you may need to reduce the number of miles you run until it doesn't hurt during or after exercise. Icing after exercise may be especially helpful.
Don't rush back to activity, however. It can take six weeks or more before you begin to feel better.
I had never heard of this, so was curious as I suffer a lot of pain in a lot of areas and have had enough physical therapy that it almost completely fills my awake hours. One interesting point made on one website was not to do range of motion exercises if you have this, and should in fact reduce range of motion in your exercise. There doesn't seem to be any reason to limit most exercise as it's going to hurt anyway, which was also odd advice (from a runner's magazine).
Also advised to start (static quadriceps contraction and knee flexion) exercise two weeks ago. Also advised to put my leg gently on ground without giving full weight and increase exercise slowly.
But on 1st May i started to walk as suggested but later on that night i felt increased swelling. So, i discontinued exercises and yesterday again i felt further increase in swelling. Then i wrapped the knee brace tightly and elevated my leg with pillow and slept. Today the swelling is some reduced.
