If there's paid, see a dr. If not, I take a Glucosamine supplement twice a day to keep my joints lubricated. My son is a personal trainer and recommended it to me since you can literally hear my knee's crackling from a distance. But I dont' have any pain. It takes the supplement time to work, we're talking weeks, and different one's work for different people. I can tell a difference if I'm not taking them. I use, and know a few other's who've had success with Kirklands brand. Unfortunately you have to try them to see what will work on you. My step mom swears by Osteo Bi Flex but it did nothing for me. Good luck!
