Plus, I don't have some of the options available to me that were suggested for other exercises, and I don't have the money for a gym membership due to being almost $100K in debt due to 3.5 years of cancer treatments. I purchased turmeric and will give it a shot. I'll follow up either way to tell the results.

The tumeric you bought probably costs about the same as a gym membership per month, and that isn’t going to fix your problems.

First thing you need to do is get your weight down, that will make a huge difference. You already admit you need to lose 40lbs, which really probably means you need to lose 60-80. I can’t tell you how much of a difference that will make.

If your knees still bother you after that, try all the other shite. And if getting a gym membership is really that big of an ordeal, I’ll give you the $10-$20 a month it costs.

Have you checked with your insurance provider to see if they offer anything that could help with a gym membership? Some provider plans offer discounts or reimbursements through wellness initiatives.

Since you are a big baller, I'll send you my P.O. Box and just send that $20 check each month, but if you quit giving dumb advice to me, I'll just tear the checks up instead of depositing them. It would be well worth the $20/month.

I was serious but since you want to be a cocksucker, good luck

I'm reviving this thread to tell Don Quixote "Thank You for the recommendation of Turmeric".

This is a game changer for me. After only a week and a half of taking it and taking that long off from running to get my knees feeling better, I'm not only running much longer, but now I don't feel any pain in my knees.

I recommend to anyone having knee or joint inflammation from running/jogging to use turmeric. It allowed me to continue exercising when there was a good chance I was going to cut out jogging due to the pain.

I'm already taking Glucosamine Sulfate

I took glucosamine for several months years ago and my joint pains got worse. I talked to several of my orthopedist and all of them said more than half of the patients they see it makes the joint pain worse. All told me it is just a matter of individual. Some say it helps, some it doesn’t. I quit taking it as they recommended and after a couple months the pain went away. It took awhile to get it through my system.

Losing weight helps all joint health too. Especially hips, knees ankles. It reduces inflammation and relieves pressure. My knee guy said every pound of weight lost is 4-5lbs of pressure off the knee joint.

I’ve had several complete joint replacements which is why I have multiple Dr. left knee replaced, right knee has been wrecked and bone on bone for last five-six years and I’ve lost 50 lbs and have zero pain in it when before it was scheduled for replacement.
