Anyone experiencing a flare up in their knees with all this wet weather?
My condition comes and goes. Sometimes I go for a few months without pain, but am finding its getting worse just lately.
Not sure that a Dr will do any thing other than than give me anti inflam tablets?
I had x-rays taken a few years back to make sure there wasn't any major problems.

What do you do to ease the pain?

Another sufferer here and yes, this weather makes me feel like dry rot has set in!!

Nothing eases the pain but i wear my knee straps and sit with my legs elevated whenever possible.

Heres to the warmer, drier weather!!

Good excuse to put my feet up after the school run!
Lets hope the nice weather is on its way!
Hope your knees ease up a little Womba
