I’ve been suffering for many years with pain in both of my knees; so much pain that I had difficulty simply walking. My knees were literally “bone to bone.” They were totally worn out with no remaining cartilage separating the bones. So what was the solution? For a long time I took Glucosamine on a daily basis, believing and hoping that what the label said was true, that it would rebuild cartilage. I felt like the Glucosamine had become my crutch. With it I was in pain, without it I was worse. As the condition of my knees became worse, the glucosamine seemed to help less and less until it seemed no longer to be helping. Also it became very expensive.
I also had Cortisone shots, but that was only temporary. I started to walk bow legged and I looked much older than I really was. I felt depressed and disenchanted. I would look back at my younger days when I was able to dance, run and yes, walk without pain. And so here I’m thinking, “wow, those were the happy days.”
