Inflamed knees and coffee (!) 2-Apr-2015 At 9:06:57 AM Nick Clow

Never mind skipping coffee, have you tried:

- stability exercises for your knee(s)? (Climbers generally have outrageous atrophy of their legs generally and quads specifically. If you look at athletes in sports such as tennis and netball, which are hard on the knees, they all do conditioning for knee stability.)

- hot water/ginger poultices? Friendlier and more effective than ibuprofen.

In my early 40s I had severe R knee problems (legacy of a motorcycle accident 20 years previously). Lots of fluid on it, severe inflammation, pain and limping. Saw a specialist who thought about operating, but recommended I first try some quad conditioning and strengthening exercises. 10 years later I do 5 minutes of quad strengthening every other day, stick a hot water/ginger poultice on it on the other day and have no knee problems whatsoever.
