Gary.........Been thinking a lot about you lately and wishing you all the best on getting better. Knee pain is no fun!!

To brickboo...............

I'm 54 and an active utility mechanic. I never had knee pain until 2 months ago and it came on all of a sudden. Not caused by any trauma but climbing stairs and ladders cause intense pain. Xrays and an MRI verified arthritis and the cartilage is very thin with some bone on bone contact and bone spurs. Had my last of 3 injections last Friday but not feeling much relief.

Not sure if I want surgery but I did start taking 2 Glucosamine MSM and Chondroitin every day. I see my doc tomorrow and will ask if I could take more. She is good with over the counter stuff and often recommends them. Thanks for the tip. -charley
