maybe you need an MRI scan to find out exactly what went wrong.

a bit too young to suffer from arthritis don't you think?

Being a triathlete, I swim for sports.

i used to swim at public pool before the pandemic for about 10-20lap depend how tired i am on that day...i have not swim in public pool since pandemic started...anyone still swimming in public pool now?how is the SOP?I miss swimming alot..few years back i used to have a friend who swim with me after work that time we swim 3-5 time a week and after i moved office we lost contact end up only swim occassionally

i love swimming as its very relaxing .
only butterfly give me the challenge , but i dont dare to do it becoz many ppl will look at you. its like showing off...

haha ya, but butterfly is the most challenging and high intensity.

I could only maximum 1 lap on butterfly. Too tired.

Always enjoy freestyle, but have never swim since the covid pandemic

Try GNC Triflex. So far I have been a repeater buyer for the products since 6 years ago.

ever since i started more exercises. the knee problems have so far been gone for now. *fingers cross*

like that sound like body weight issue, it disappear one body weight normalize.

No wor, i was never overweight. BMI always has been green and perfect.
Last time doctor used to tell me to build muscles. So yeah it's the muscles.

Oh, unexpected wrong guess, my bad.

What kind of exercise you did? I also having knee problem since young

Me too have left knee problem these past decade and have avoided jogging/running. Pain is noticeably missing when I build leg muscles (as mentioned by Miyakochan), so it confirms does help.
But now I’m looking at a new strategy involving barefoot shoes (minimalist shoes). Maybe my knee pains come from wrong type of footwear, so I plan to reset the way I walk or run by changing footwear type.

I started with walking, since during MCO the pool was closed. And then I move to some simple aerobic exercises following those from YouTube. Search for knee friendly low impact stuffs. Then now I do cycling, elliptical machines, swimming when the weather allows and a lot of LesMills body combat programs. I still walk, I walk up and down a hill near my house.

I can finally jog/run/ do jumping jacks without worrying that my knee is going to hurt but I still avoid things that will put a lot of impact on my knees. Because these impacts can carry forward to the future, especially when you are old. So yeah.

Yeah invest in good shoes. Horrible shoes make your days horrible.

swimming too frequently is not good for your skin and hair and it tend to get drier...need to wear swimming cap and quickly wash with tap water right after u get up from the pool....

Picked up swimming 5 months ago. Had a personal coach to teach me everything from 0.

Fast forward to present day. I know how to do breastroke and freestyle comfortably. Learning butterfly and backstroke atm.

What I've benefit from swimming? My lower back sore from office work 9 to 5 is gone. My body got toned up. And still in the process of quitting smoking. Never knew i loved swimming that much ever since swimming pool trauma during childhood. My past fear has become my present passion

TBH, the best cure for bodily aches and pain is exercise. Any exercise. Get moving and keep moving.
Not, pain killer, massage, supplements, tittar, physio, chiro or ortho.

The only thing I don't like about swimming is the dirty toilets. omg the smell...

swimming gives very good tone to body , that is definitely a plus.

Agree. Meds and supplement are only there to support us. We ourself should do the hard work.

Having them muscles that you didnt know you had is a great reward to reap. Haha

Used to swim after work for relaxation. But stopped after the pandemic.
