Hope it improves for you man. Knee pain is brutal! I mashed mine up over the years doing alot of stupid things and over the last few years they seemingly take turns turning up the ache. Start of the year I went down heavy with a big Shepherd and it felt like someone stabbed my kneee with a dull butterknife, every step it felt like it could kick in backwards! As soon as that stopped, the left started going numb?! I better stop complaining though for fear that they will get on the same page one day and I won't have a decent knee to over compensate on Getting old sucks bud.
