It can, especially if your new knee is titanium or some other metal.

Hi Jessica,  I had a total knee replacement in 2001 and i had 2 surgery before that. Has your doctor put dye in your knee to see if they can pick up anything wrong with your knee?? If your not happy with your doctor go see a different doctor. About the arthrits in your knee,you probably do have it in your knee. I did before the total knee replacement and i know how painful arthrits can be. Wishing all the luck in the world.Find a doctor who cares about your health. A Friend.\n\n  Clowmy

Go see your Doctor!  You could prevent a very painful knee replacement when you are older.

temporarily it will be cold and if you have sensitive skin it can itch and turn red since salt makes the temperature go wayyy down, long term is bad because the tmeperatures can get to the negative dgrees, you can definitely get frostbite

ice first only if there's swelling.  ice reduces swelling and heat helps with the pain.  and get it checked out by a doctor.. i hurt my knee FOUR years ago and never did anything about it.. recently i just had surgery to fix a tear in my medial meniscus.  seriously.  good luck!

I had Arthoscopy surgery back in Nov. I had a chipped bone and also had arthritis clean up. My knee still bothers me at times, are you in an immobilizer or anything to keep your leg straight? Or on crutches? Its going to take time for it to heal, knees have a long healing process.

not to bad the people above are right it hurts worse to not have it done. Besides the worse part of the whole operation is the IV that they put in...I do suggest the surgery and I do suggest a lot of ice and a nice bed with a lot of pillows...  If the doctor has to stitch or shave the meniscus  is whether or not you get to walk 3 days afterwards or not...And another thing i suggest highly is moving your knee the day afterwards because if you don't move it around it will become very weak and then therapy will have to happen.Hope this helps!

If you mean frostbite, the cold basically freezes all of the water in your body. The blood vessels freeze, the cells freeze - everything there is basically dead. The degrees of frostbite, I believe, refer to how far into your limb that dying went, and whether it can be unfrozen.

It's consistency in your exercise program that's the important thing, not the weather.  Have you noticed how gyms tend to keep the same temperature all year round?

Well you need to see a doctor about it. I have had 5 knee surgeries and each time before surgery they tell me to put heat on for 20 minutes then ice for 20 minutes so you might try this and see if it helps and stay off it.\nGood Luck

Weather affects air pressure.  This affects man.  Some are sensitive to the change in air pressure and can result in headache and knee pain and more.

See if there's a difference in their rate of movement in cold, normal and hot conditions.

1 or 2 degrees below normal body temperature (below 37º C or 98.6º F)

You sound like you got your knee at the same shop my husband got his.  The doctor you need to see to have it evaluated is an Orthopedic Surgeon.   X-rays don't show most of the ails that affect a knee, because most of it involve cartilage or tendons, which don't show up in them.  You could have problems with either the cartilage pad that separates the bones of the upper and lower leg, or a partial ligament tear.  Either of those problems will cause knee pain, immobitility of the joint, swelling, and even the knee to give out and let you hit the deck.   Though I will also tell you that there isn't a lot they can do at the moment if it involves the cartilage.  If it's a ligament tear, that can be repaired surgically.   My husband has a small hole in his cartilage, and a little extra ligament movement, and has a specially fitted brace to wear when it's really giving him fits.  I keep a bag of frozen peas around just for him to use when it swells.  I would bet that you have a similar problem, as his also will snap,crackle and pop, and he actually creaks when he walks.   He takes Motrin for the pain, and wears the brace when the weather turns cold.  Also when he's going to be doing much walking.   We see the Orthopedic Surgeon about once a year to re-evaluate the knees, and for him to decide if it's at the point that surgery would be of benefit to him.  His Orthopedic Surgeon also has two bad knees, and they usually end up comparing noises and clicks.  So I'd say that was your best choice of doctor- Orthopedic Surgeon, and see what he has to say about it.  They may do an arthroscopy to have a look at it, and give you the final diagnosis then, along with your treatment options. They can also fit you for a proper brace then as well.   Good luck, though I hate to tell you knees are real boogers to fix, and fix well.  They make lots of things, but not knees.

Your feet will likely be very sensitive to cold for the rest of your life.\n\nOther than that, if your feet (or any part thereof) have not turned black, then you probably have nothing to worry about.

Yes, you burn calories in cold weather because your body is burning energy in an effort to keep your body temperature elevated.  Just like when you exercise in extremely hot temperatures you sweat a lot, that's your body's way of cooling itself down.

Freezing your ear will just give you loss of feeling to the ear, practically numb..\nAs for loss of hearing, no! You wont loose any hearing or have any difficulty..\nYou might experience some loss if you have thoes tubes down your ears, that would probabaly be the only time..\nJust wait 'till after the operation..might take a while for hearing to return.\n\nNitrogen.
