Alana Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I saw an Advil commercial and according to them, for every pound you lose, you also lose up to 8lbs of PRESSURE from your knees. How about that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alana Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Awesome! That will help me so much since I dislocated my right knee twice in soccer. Phew! Relief especially when it's cold outside, painful! I have torn the ligaments in my left ankle twice, not major falls, but I'm convinced my weight made it worse - hopefully this will help to avoid this in the future.

MamaMichelle Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I can totally believe/relate to this fact!! Today was field day at my sons school and I played 5 games of volleyball (teachers and parents vs. the 8th graders) and couldn't believe how great my knees felt... It was like I was back in high school (I was on the volleyball team for 3 years) I was able to rum and slide with no pain. Of course to competive side of me took over on one play and I dove for the ball hitting my knees hard so now one knee is super bruised up, but I saved the ball and won us the serve for game point so it was totally worth it... We did win the match 3games to 2games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
