Hi, my husband's knee is bone on bone, and he has postponed TKR (bone on bone is bone on bone!) since before Covid! So many, many years. So I would try the glucosamine/chondroitin on any painful joint that has bone on bone!

Hi cathee,

Is your husband in a lot of pain? And if the answer is yes, why is he postponing the surgery? I was in the same situation and the TKRs (yep, both knees) got rid of the pain. The procedure was life changing for me. I was 67 when I had them replaced in 2022. I'm in the gym 7x/week now and I spin 5x/week. My knees have never felt better. FWIW, I'm plagued with osteo arthritis. Joint replacement surgery has been a life saver.

That's why I'm wondering why your husband hasn't had the surgery. It is a traumatic surgery, and recovery involves a lot of work. But contrary to the comment that opened this forum, TKRs are worth the effort.

All the best. Joe
