I suffer terribly with my knees. Too much rugby and firefighting! I have been through the same thing. You end up favouring your good knee without realising it and eventually it becomes your bad knee!

Good luck with that πŸ’œπŸš’πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ˜ŽπŸ’ƒ

Oh no! Sorry to hear. What's your go to releaf? Indeed, sports are good for you but are they really?? Hahaha

Hadn't actually had anything for a very long time πŸ€” but it seems at first glance the right knee is damaged because of weight lifting πŸ˜… something with the meniscus and liquid forming, but tbc to be honest, might get an MRI in 2028 with the NHS if I'm lucky.

Thank you! πŸ’œ

Mine are beyond repair! Very little, if any cartilage left. Keeping my weight under control is the best relief. I pay for hyaluronic injections, expensive but are really good.

The NHS isn't fit for purpose mate, I try to go elsewhere. I really need knee replacement but I'm not doing that for at least 7 years.

Ah that's so painful 😭 A lady I knew needed morphine tablets for that same reason cause the rubbing of the bones was unbearable πŸ«‚ I've heard great things about hyaluronic injections though. Glad you found that alternative to surgery even if costly! Is an investment.

Yeah not at all. I have another appointment with the GP tomorrow and depending on what they say next, I'll go private for my own sake πŸ˜‚

If you can afford it, definitely better but I would go abroad. We (the British) have been brainwashed to believe our health service is the best. It really isn't.

Good luck πŸ’œπŸš’πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ˜Ž

My mum keeps telling me to get a sabbatical and go to Spain to get a full check up. Might have to do that after all πŸ˜‚

Spain is way better than here. I owe my life to a Spanish doctor. I often go to Lithuania or Russia.
