What should I do about my knee?
I have terrible knee pain that seems to focus mainly from behind my kneecap. I played soccer for 14 years and had to give it up because the pain in my knee became intolerable. At times, it is hard for me to walk, or even sleep comfortably.
I take glucosamine 1500mg and MSM 1500mg tablets twice a day as recommended, but they do nothing for me, ice and/or heat packs and pain relievers do nothing as well. Surgery is out of question due to financial issues. Is there anything else can I do to relieve the severe pain?
