Tips for bad knees

[nobrains]

Drink bone broth with lots of collagen in it. Bring a pot of pig feet and neck bones to a boil, dump it out to rid the impurities, cover with water again, boil on low overnight, strain. Boil down til it's thicker if you want. Season with salt. You can make lots of stuff with this. If you add leeks and season it with soy sauce you have a quality ramen broth. You can also make it out of beef bones or chicken carcasses too. Chicken feet add collagen as well. Adding meat for a few hours makes it taste better.

Collagen is what your knees are made of. Folks take glucosamine supplements when they get old, well this is better because it's dietary, so it fills in more gaps. Drink a cup twice a day and a lot more than your knees will repair themselves.

Try to make it out of good quality ingredients, since it's medicine. Find a local farmer online. They have directories. Don't use the factory farmed shit at Walmart. Those diseased animals are likely to give you cancer or something.

Tho I realise not everyone has access to a pool - think 24 hour fitness, the Y, the ocean, etc... My doc told me point blank to start swimming daily to alleviate joint pain. Beyond that, Glucosamine works well but me think someone already rec'd that.

The swimming has done wonders for my sciatica.....

Knee brace with the steel hinge on both sides. I got one after I got my knee sewn up after i blew it out. Had to wait after the 26 stitches came out though of course. Since then it helped me keep 95% of mobility in my left knee. Goes out every now and then to. It aches around winter time usually as well.

Dont know if this lil bit of info might help or not.

I've had a knee problem for years ever since my second dislocation. Best thing i need is to strengthen the muscles around the knee (there are like 15 you need to work on) and start carrying a walking stick. Both are good, but probably glucosamine would also be good.
