Age 46 bone on bone knees. I dont want surgery is there another way to build cartlige. Im still working

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You're very young to have lost so much cartilage in your knees. I hope your pain is manageable.

If you have no cartilage at all, self-repair will be extremely difficult without surgery. However, there is some evidence that cartilage repairs itself.

Anon, have you consulted a doctor yet? I'd be interested to know what they say.

Best,
Susan
