Case Summary | Osteoarthritis
| Condition | Knee Osteoarthritis |
| Case Description | I originally injured my knee in high school sports. When I was sent to the hospital, they didn't really diagnose it as anything and I was released. When I joined the Army, I ran a lot. My knee continued to get worse and worse. I tried physical therapy and it helped a little bit. The best treatment is water exercise. I am continuing this path of exercise because it seems to be the thing that is helping the most. It seems like the water is a good place to relieve pain in the knee because there is no pressure in the water. |
