I was wondering where you stand with your knees, any other treatments?? I too have bad knees and just checking out what your treatments were. I am also diagnosed wth Osteoarthritis. I have trouble with both knees and both shoulders. I had my right should operated on 2 years ago and I swear that its worst now than it was....

Thanks for the update....

Habu,

My knees are totally shot,I need replacements in both knees....... I would do it in a minute if I could,but I can't do anything due to my wife's medical condition...... That operation would put me down for a while and I wouldn't be able to cook or take her to her doctors which are many(7)also keep up the basic house cleaning chores.......... She's in a power wheel chair and unable to do much,so I'm just wearing my braces when I need to............. They do help but they are still kinda bulky to get around in comfortably............I'm still getting my shots,but like you my shoulders are killing me now,I've got Osteoarthritis also............ Try the braces,they do help,you should be able to get them from the VA without a problem.......If you need info on them like brand name,etc just PM me and I'll try to help.......
