My physician had told me I needed a new knee; my knees were bone on bone. I try to avoid surgeries. Over time the pain improved and I was able to even hike up hillsides, but I was still having some pain on stairs and in other situations.
I decided to try Advanced Joint Support; with only 1 pill for several months, I have had an almost total elimination of pain. As a matter of fact, I have been very busy and just realized how much better my knees feel. So, don't give up and just do the surgery; it is amazing what is available to help us.
