[Howard Luks MD @hjluks]

Every knee arthritis patient needs to hear...
- pain does not always imply harm
-it's ok to run/walk/weight train
-yes, PT can be helpful.
-steroids are not typically helpful and might harm u
-it's helpful to remain active
-ignore the x-ray and focus on remaining active.
-don't try stem cells

They shouldn't hear.
- you have bone on bone
-you have the knee of a 90 year old
- you should stop exercising
-rest, or you'll need a TKR
- come back every 3 months for an injection
