Years ago I had the same knee problem, and by my early 50s was being recommended to have replacement surgery. Between high quality supplements and dietary changes (which I researched and was taught about, even though Dr. Gundry's famous book came out years later) my knee problem healed, my joint space returned to normal, pain, swelling, and weakness / "giving way" / "catching sensation" problems gradually went away; and today at age 72 (73 next week) I have no joint or health problems at all. I never had to have that surgery.
Unfortunately, many physicians are unaware of these methods; though some probably are.

I read Dr. Gundry's book and was very impressed. I have altered my diet somewhat on the basis of reading that book, however some of the menu recommendations can be somewhat expensive. I have no pain and perfect function in my knees. Occasionally a little pain in my right hip. I recommend that everyone read his book as it opens up a lot of possibilities, especially as we age.
