Q: When did your knee pain start? A: I’ve had this progress over the last two and a half years.

Q: When did your knee pain start? A: I’ve had problems with my knee ever since high school. I waited until I was 61 years old to treat it.

Q: When did your knee pain start? A: After many years of racquetball I developed problems with my meniscus. It finally got to a point where I could not play anymore.

A: I tried supplements and wraps, but that was not successful. I had Synovial fluid put into my left knee. The injection cost me $800 out of pocket. I…
