Was walking a bit with a friend who has *no cartilage* in her knees yesterday - never knew that cartilage doesn't grow back. She has to take weight-bearing exercise for osteoporosis, but "I'll pay for this tonight," she said

As a child I wore shorts all year round - I was born in the mid 1950s.
I don't think I had any long trousers until I went to secondary school.
I cycled in shorts as a teenager and I'm not sure that did my now arthritic knees any good in the long term.

Now it has to be sweltering for me to inflict my lower limbs on the world.

Nothing like knee pain at 34 to make me face my own mortality.

God knows what I did to it but going down stairs is a challenge πŸ™ˆ I'm walking down like my Dad does with his dodgy knees.

Maybe I'll shuffle down on my bum instead to feel more like a toddler than pensioner πŸ˜…

@lhgmk2 Yeah. Until recently walking was just something that happened when I wanted to move. Now every step needs planning.

I've got arthritis in my right knee. In September, I got a cortisone shot and it fixed things for three weeks. Then something shifted in my knee and it felt like I was being stabbed in the leg... for days.
I've just had a second cortisone shot, but this time my leg is swollen and aching from mid-thigh to mid-calf.
If this doesn't help, the only next step is a total knee replacement.
Fuck.
(Right now, I just want my leg to stop aching. Ow.)

I just realized that the faces in my knees are aging faster than the face on my face; they are looking pretty craggy and sad.

I think I have the knees of Dorian Gray

tip: wear earplugs so you can’t hear your crunch on the way down.
