I tried the injection that was being used for arthritis in the knees. That did not help. I took medications for years from over-the-counter and prescription medication. Nothing has helped the pain.

It broke my sleep patterns and just made me tired the rest of the day. I thought this was something I had to live with, because I was getting older, but I didn’t.
