Hi there

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with such bad knee pain.

I was just wondering whether you have tried wearing a knee support when you are walking?

You can buy them from most chemists. I wouldn't suggest wearing it all the time but it may help give you the support you need when you go out.

Just a thought.

Wishing you less pain and more peace

I know you said you've tried creams, but did you try Volterol?

I use that at night for my knees.

Good luck and best wishes 😊

Hi leonard30

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are suffering in this way, and I sincerely hope that you can find some relief to this problem. I was diagnosed with ''wear and tear' in my knees many years ago, and it was a euphemism for arthritis.

I have pasted you below the link the NHS Choices cache on this issue:

nhs.uk/Conditions/Arthritis...

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Can you suggest a good knee support for large knees ?
