Take control of your knee pain

Nobody asked me to write this but I feel like I have to. I've had osteoarthritis in my left knee for almost 8 years now and it got to the point where I could hear the grinding every time I stood up from a chair. Bone on bone is what my doctor called it. The sound alone made me sick. My orthopedic wanted me to consider a knee replacement but I'm only 63 and honestly that scared me more than the pain did. So I've just been managing with ibuprofen and ice packs and avoiding stairs whenever I could. I stopped going on walks with my group. Stopped gardening. Stopped doing anything that meant being on my feet for more than 10 minutes because I knew I'd pay for it later. My daughter found these bamboo knee sleeves online and kept sending me the link until I finally gave in and ordered a pair. So... I put it on before bed that first night not expecting much. I've tried those other braces and sleeves before. But I woke up around 5am and I really did feel different. I swung my legs out of bed and stood up without the grinding pain. A lot more smooth. The other morning I walked to the end of the street and back without hardly any pain. It's been 6 days now and I wear it every single night. Today I've gone almost 12 hours without reaching for the ibuprofen bottle and my pain is a 2 out of 10 instead of an 8. I'm not saying it's a miracle. But I'm a 63 year old woman who just signed up to walk in my granddaughter's charity walk next month. I haven't done anything like that in years. This is the first product that worked like it said it would work. It has been such a blessing on my life.
