I agree the steep, rocky downhill hiking is tough on the knees.
I have No swelling. I've hiked for years, but left knee has been hurting a month.
Neuropathy causes me pain/numbness for a few days, but only that.

Hi there @lgpn5094, .......just jumping in here to welcome you.
I am or was a "trekker" with a group of gals for 10 years. They finally "captured" me and told me to get a TKR......which I did. I also lived at about 5,500 ft for 23 years which was a great thing for my cardiovascular system. What it didn't help was the condition of my knees.
When I asked my surgeon how long the surgery would last, I think he said, "Forever if you always go uphill. 5 years if you continue to go downhill." So now I live in Mountainless Minnesota. Of course, I had to have a TKR on the other knee as soon as I arrived. And now I walk on the "flat ground". (Miss the mountains though,)
In your message, you state that you are also dealing with neuropathy pain/numbness. How are you doing with that condition?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
