Hi Mike. I'm delighted you have this lady on as a guest today. I came across Dr Alyssa's channel recently. She is so knowledgeable in arthritis. I have rheumatoid arthritis for most of my life and a lot of what she describes applies to me. She inspires hope. She enables people to have a quality of life. I would definitely recommend people to check out her channel and exercises. Thanks Mike and Dr Alyssa for a very interesting and informative podcast 💚☘️

[@arthritisadventure]

you're so welcome!

This is EXACTLY the video I needed to see! 42 years old, as advanced osteoarthritis in my R ankle following several sprains and 2 ankle/leg fractures.
I was recently told by an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in ankles, based on x-rays, that I am very nearly “bone-on-bone” (he said about 8.5/10 if 10 were the worst it could be) and will eventually need an ankle fusion :( He did say we want to try and push our off as long as possible though.
I have been going to PT regularly, but struggling with making significant progress. After watching this interview, I feel better equipped to take more proactive steps to push that surgery back, or at the very least, optimize my recovery from it. Thank you so much for having Dr. Kuhn on, I can’t wait to explore the videos on her channel.

I’m 51 and recently was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in my left knee. I’m heavy set so the Dr. Said that nothing can be done to correct my knee unless I lose weight. Well it’s difficult to lose weight since I can barely walk with the knee pain.
