Hello @stiffbowler123 and welcome to the online community,

You have arthritis in both knees and with no more information to go on can I assume that you would like to talk to others with a similar condition. You have come to the right place for both information and discussions about painful knees. We hope you will find that joining the community will also offer you both friendship and support.

Meanwhile I attach some links which I hope you will find helpful

https://community.versusarthritis.org/discussion/53410/best-pain-relief-for-arthritic-knees

If you have a chance to browse round the different categories maybe starting with "Living with Arthritis", you will see that there is a wealth of life experiences shared by our members who both give and gain a lot of mutual support from the community. We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Best wishes

Welcome to the Forum @stiffbowler123,

Arthritis of the knee is one of the most frequent joints this condition targets, me included.

You'll find some great resources on this website which could help you to manage your condition and have a decent quality of life.

By all means let us know how your condition affects you, what you doing/taking to help and whether you're looking for anything specific, I'm sure one or more of us will be along to pass on some words of comfort or help.

Take care,

Jon
