@cindiwass -
I do go with the crowd and think going to a doctor/surgeon to get the knee imaged is really important. If they actually removed cartilage, then I don't think they can add in cushioning (now THAT would revolutionize how they treat worn-out joints!). While you're waiting for the Dr, maybe a knee brace will help support things and keep things from moving all willy-nilly.

I do hear knee replacements are easier than hip replacements.....

Good luck!

All good thoughts for sure. I was a fencer for 30 years and competitive fencing can really take a toll on the knees. After stopping I began to notice knee pain iny left knee in my mid 50's. Since then I get semi annual shots of HA in the knee. It is hyaluronic acid which we all make naturally. This helps to cushion my damaged cartilage and reduces pain quite a bit. Check it out on Mayo site and consider this along with imaging and medical consultation. Johnmacc
