Good vibrations or knackered knees?

I have just experienced using a Power Plate for the first time.

I only did about six exercises on it during a trial run and it made me tingle all over and my legs feel lighter now, around an hour later back at home. Since smashing my coccyx and a couple of vertabrae about 20 years ago after playing tennis on a hard court, I have a weak lumbar region and really creaky knees and can’t get up or down easily anymore, nor walk downstairs without creeping crablike down one step at at time and a bit sideways so the weight is only on one knee joint at a time.  About ten years ago, after endless agony and MRI scans etc, a brilliant knee specialist Dr Barratt said, “I can’t turn a cobbled street into a motorway”, and sent me on my way.

I’ve done what I can ever since to try and strengthen the muscles around the knees and I guess it has helped but they are still dreadfully sore.

Trouble is, the trainer at the gym has recently given me more leg abductor and leg adductor exercises with 15kg weights but the Power Plate instructor says they’re too much and will do my knees more harm than good.

I really don’t know who or what to believe anymore! Anything I do to help myself costs a flipping fortune  as well and I could be throwing good money after bad.  Any good, cost-effective advice out there? I’m 55 for heavan’s sake, past my best physically, menopausal and wanting to keep as fit as I can but I’m starting from a negative and painful place which doesn’t help. All the motivation is there but finding the best solution is proving harder.

For those interested there’s a description of the Power Plate here taken off http://www.davidlloyd.co.uk/
