I second glucosamine. Had a very sore shoulder about 10 years ago, primary care physician told me to take one a day and very soon pain totally went away. Told me to continue take one a day and so far so good. If it helps you should know in a few days.

In addition to the glucosamine that others have suggested, I would suggest you try taking MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). I get mine from bulksupplements.com. It is an all natural sulfur that our bodies need and it gets depleted as we age. I have more than a dozen friends taking it, and every one of them has eliminated or greatly reduced their pain.

Every time somebody recommends a doctor, he's always the best. "Oh, is he good? -- Oh, he's the best. This guy's the best." They can't all be the best. There can't be this many bests. Someone's graduating at the bottom of these classes. Where are these doctors? Is somewhere someone saying to their friend, "You should see my doctor. He's the worst. Oh, yeah. He's the worst. He's the absolute worst there is. Whatever you've got, it'll be worse after you see him. Yeah. He's just a... He's a butcher. The man's a butcher." And then there's always that, "Make sure that you tell him that, you know, you know me." Why? What's the difference? He's a doctor. What is he...? "Oh, you know Bob. Oh, okay, I'll give you the real medicine. Yeah, everybody else I'm giving Tic Tacs ~Jerry Seinfeld |

Before you have any surgery, I would strongly suggest you read The Plant Paradox, by Dr. Steven Gundry MD (a famous cardiac and transplant surgeon / inventor) published 2017. NYT best seller. It is life-changing.
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.

Regarding Comment #66 - I haven't read that book but, the overriding message here is really important. Better diets and appropriate supplements can make a huge difference in many health issues. I came across a book many years ago that looked so interesting. It was written by a Doctor a few decades ago whereby he claimed that most ill health occurs because of a lack of necessary vitamins or minerals. He detailed his findings and what deficiencies cause which illnesses plus what the optimal levels are for vitamins and minerals. But, grrrr, I bookmarked that book and no longer have that computer so I don't know the title or author! I will dig around and see if I can find it. Lastly, it has become commonly accepted that refined sugar is quite inflammatory and most American diets are very sugar-infused. |

I avoided knee replacement with fetal stem cell injections. I still had some cartilage. The stem cells stimulated regrowth
I've been fully functional and pain free for 5 years. If you're brave switching to a vegan diet will eliminate knee arthritis pain in 2 weeks. My husband had a double knee replacement after he developed bowed legs. He did extremely well and returned to work part time within 2 weeks, full time in 3 weeks. He did intensive residential rehab. He was off pain meds in 6 days despite having both knees replaced at the same time. My stem cell injections were completely covered by my husband's Tricare for life. Talk to an Orthopedic surgeon or pain management doctor about stem cells. I don't know about the side approach. Many people believe it is an easier recovery because not as many muscles & ligaments are cut. In any case best of luck. Last, PT before replacement will help condition you to recover faster. PT will not replace the need for new knees. |

Maybe if people read threads in their entirety, they would know that I responded to a prior post authored by someone other than me.
