May I suggest you do a CZ search for older posts of Grz - an honorable member of CZ - who years ago had serious problems with knees and was helped most, as far as I remember, from the Moreless protocoll (Ask Moreless Forum).

All good suggestions above, but I have had my knee repaired by a non-invasive procedure called prolotherapy. Check-out getprolo.com for sources near you and good luck. This stuff actually gets your body to regrow connective tissue.

All the suggestions here are very good...

You can do a few additional things to help rather immediately with mobility and pain issues.

Warm Peanut oil or Castor oil knee massages... you can leave the oil on and wrap it over night too.

I liked both... with the Castor oil perhaps being the better of the two for me.

Also... if you find a chiropractor, that has studied under a Russian Bone Doctor... they can help almost instantly with mobility and in the reduction of pain - note: this helps healing too as it relieves stress in the joint.

Russian Bone Doctors are trained, if I understood correctly, to not only manipulate and align the spine, but every joint in the body... and this guy I went to (he was doing his internship with my chiropractor and I liked him better - but then he moved on out of state :-\) was a miracle worker.

I only had the privilege of having him for about 6 - 9 months, however it made a huge difference during that time and left an impression.

If he is out there somewhere - bless you.

If anyone here has joint issues and has ever had the pleasure of a Russian Bone doctor\chiropractor... I have never heard much feedback on it and would enjoy it one way or the other.

thanks,

read about trigger points, often so called knee injury are just referred pain from other places around.
