(Medical anxiety, I HATE YOU!!)
Has anyone had a bout with moderate to severe knee pain? Not much pain walking, but when I kneel down on my right knee, it feels like broken glass. Sore on both sides of knee cap. Ugh, this stuff can end any time now!!!

I have shoulder, hip and knee pain that comes n goes. Recently my pointer finger has been bothering me too lol.
I started a multi type collagen supplement that I think has helped with the knee pain. I can kneel on it again in yoga for short periods of time.
Supposedly different types (2, 3, 5, etc.) of collagen are supposed to be good for different issues.
As with ALL my 30 plus perimenopause symptoms, I have no idea if a supplement is helping or if that symptom passed on it's own. What a ride this is, I have spent more money on supplements, medical costs, copays for physical therapy, massage, acupuncture over the last 3 years then I have my entire life before turning 40.
Hope your knee feels better soon!

Isn't that the truth!! My money is going towards supplements as well. Yes to physical therapy and acupuncture!! Also just bought some 'insoles' from the foot Dr that weren't cheap. I wish for better health next year.

Yes, it's my dominant hand right pointer finger so used a lot. It's like the wear and tear of life all comes to the surface at this time 😃
I will look into that collagen, thanks!
