    What do I do for my joints? Take a walk around the corner to the recreational weed store. (Joking, I don't use cannabis. However it is legal in CA so you can get a joint at the pot store (yes I'm making a pun), or you can pick up CBD in various forms to treat joint pain.)

    The only thing that has helped me is strength training. I am virtually pain free and I used to walk around like I was 80! :D

    I take a joint complex supplement. It helps all your joints all the way around, takes a couple weeks to get into your system. But when I’m consistent with them it helps. Along with random visits to my chiropractor off and on when needed.

    Knee injuries of any kind usually bring on arthritic changes earlier. I shattered my kneecap 3 years ago, it was surgically repaired, I have 2 screws in it. With great physical therapy, I healed well, and was able to do a 5K at 5 months post op! I work in a winter job where I am on my feet a lot but not moving around much. In the summers I work in a very physically active situation. I find that when I am sedentary, my knee aches more, and when I am active it rarely aches. A use-it-or-lose-it situation. Maybe a blessing in disguise to keep me active year round. I'm posting a website link that was wonderful to help me heal, my phys therapist liked it too!. Full of helpful information and exercises. (Always check with your care provider though!)
