It sucks because I'm only 47. I'm going to start on glucosamine with chondroitin to see if it will generate more cartilage, but there haven't been any real studies on it. good luck with your knees! |
Is the disorder you have called chondromalacia? Because that's what I have, and it sounds kind of like what you have.
