Knee issues

M-technik-3 · Yesterday, 08:38 PM

my right knee is loosing cartilage around me knee seems to be long time of year as I was a runner and my service job had me on my feet doing leg work.

I stand alot at my three CNC machines at work and have a stool I use and a knee brace now to prevent movement.

I have tried heat and ice routines and elevate it when possible but not sure how to slow it. I am active and I love to hike walk and cycle. It's impacting it and I have gained 7 pounds this year, First time I have been over 200 lbs on average for any length of time. Minus career change or surgery any other options

Strengthening the quads and hamstrings (especially if there is a big imbalance between the two). Stretching the hamstrings could also help. A standing mat if you stand at one spot a lot.
