Knees as you age

[hammocity]

For me it’s bursitis of the hips and elbows, cortisone injections helped but rest is the best way.

My knee is not good but I wear a support when doing any physical activity (just golf and walking for me), I bought a good one off Amazon for a tenner, really helps.

My mate is in Wythenshawe for an ankle replacement in November, choice was that or having his bones fused which can lead to Arthritis, great choice?

acetaminophen with naproxen better be ok or i'm hooped.
I've got no meniscus between the bones on the left side of my right knee, been told it will need to be replaced eventually, but I'm 58, too young at this point. luckily it's not to much of a hindrance for me.

My mate had a knee replacement in his late 40’s as he was crippled by it, I think general rule though is 60.

Tell your mate that if he opts for foot amputation, he'll have a great choice in nicking a nice odd shoe on display in the high street; )

Tin bashers back in the seventies used to emulsify cod liver oil with milk, apparently the milk helped the oil target the joints !

Any idea how to drink it without vomiting?

A turkey baster used as a suppository to deposit the concoction ?

I am guessing your knees must be a bit sore at the moment mate? :)

My right knee appears to be on it way out. I was in the gym - leg day - heard a quiet tearing noise and thought I was ripping my shorts. Soon realised it was my knee making an ungodly grinding noise. I seem to have temporarily solved it by agreeing with myself to no longer squatting below parallel. Probably only delaying the inevitable of it worsening, though.

When I was 15 I used to have physio on my knees. Was told I had the knees of a 40 year old then.

These days I have to dislocate my knees just to get my friggin socks on.
