F'kn right knee cartilage is 80-90% gone thanks to osteo in them. Left holding at a solid 50%. Sports (when young), the Mil, and age sure have taken a toll.

Hope to get another 3 years out of it and/or not end up like GK.

I have a feeling I'm going to have to address my knees sooner than I'd like (only 37 yrs old), but spending the better part of 15 years running almost daily, is really catching up, specifically my right knee is bad. I look like an OLD man going up and down stairs. But hey, my lungs and my heart are strong, lol.

Curious why they're doing the jello type so close after a cortisone injection? Even cortisone shots should not be done, less than 3 months apart.

have either of you been measured and got orthotics? Not the Dr School or other otc stuff. If you're a veteran, the VA covers the expense. One insurance should cover them, as well. if not they run about $2-400. Well worth it.

I haven?t checked into orthotics, although I probably should, as I have bad feet due to previous (untreated) injuries, I have really good insurance, so it would likely cover them, I?ll have to investigate.

Have you looked at the knees over toes guy on YouTube?

finding a suitable shoes (pronate, neutral, supernate, dual dense support, etc) should be first.
if that does not work, podiatrist will be next step.

That's what he did last time and the gel was good for WAY longer than he even expected. I trust this guy. Last saw him like 6 years ago.

First ortho guy, one that scope my left knee about 10 years ago did NOT do Cortisone first and the gel didn't take well or last 6 months.

Vet, but rather not go through that hell. Insurance isn't an issue for me, nurse wife works for Centura and we are blessed with unbelievable coverage and nearly zero out of pocket. My Company's insurance is a joke.

Morning stairs are the worst for me.

Get after them now. Don't wait or you'll really regret it.

Get checked out to see what's going on before more damage is done.

I'm kinda screwed already with the arthritis and age.

My knee was bothering me starting when I was 22.
I could still run often till around 2008.
I was not able to run up and down stairs at around 2011.
2013-2017 I could not even walk well.(gained 65lbs ish).

I could start running around 2017 to 2019 and developed some fibrosis during panamic due to no physical thearpy nor rec center diy therapy.

Put it off+ slow damage+ minor injury on top of it and it will easily lead to TKR surgery.
I think people who've met me between 13-17' can recall my condition.

I wish all of us luck with this crap....sounds like we could use trading cards.

I'll trade you for two GK's and and a Brutal for two OBCs, a CN and a Prena. What do you want for the Hurley?

I haven't been called an adolescent boy in quite some time. Oh, now I get it. I'm slow. I'm not "near you".
