1. Don’t rest too much. Too much rest can weaken your muscles, which can worsen joint pain. Find an exercise program that is safe for your knees and stick with it. If you're not sure which motions are safe or how much you can do, talk with your doctor or a physical therapist.
2. Do exercise. Cardio exercises strengthen the muscles that support your knee and increase flexibility. Weight training and stretching do, too. For cardio, some good choices include walking, swimming, water aerobics, s...more

After having the joint at the base of my big toe fused because of arthritis, I immediately began having prickly, stinging sensations in the tip of same toe. After a couple of months it calmed down, but ever since (about 14 months) it has been ultra sensitive. The most sensitive spot is on the outside tip of my toe a good 2 inches from the incision. Early on the podiatrist suggested alcohol injections to calm it down, but now he says because of cavity that treatment option is cost prohibitive. Now he wants to remove the hardware he applied during the fusion procedure, there is some slight sensitivity in that area, and also go in and grind or cut down the bone (i'm not sure of the proper term) under the most sensitive spot of the nerve. I'm afraid it will make it worse, like it was the first couple of months. Do you have any suggestions or is there a type of doctor that specializes in this sort of nerve issue? Please advise and thank you in advance.

Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness have developed due to weakness of the ligaments &inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.
