I never thought it would happen, but it did, old man time caught up with me. For the last several years I have had some knee pain, but this year proved to be the exception. I have a physical job in technical sales that requires me to be on my feet for the majority of the day. Also, I carry material that weighs 100 lbs in and out of customer locations. I also ride a bike and walk in the evenings with my wife.
A few weeks ago I started to have severe knee pain in both knees while walking and finally went to the doctor. The diagnosis is mild osteoarthritis in one knee and moderate in the left. She injected both knees two weeks ago and it hasn't helped at all. She also suggested that I start to take Glucosamine to help. I have tried every over the counter cream and nothing seems to help either. I am scheduled for another appointment in two weeks. In the time until my appointment, I am looking for an over the counter cream and recommendation for supplements. I understand this is not a forum for medical advice, but I have been to a doctor and I am hoping that the forum has some real world experience that will help.
