Knee pain and giving way

gardinerdonna

I have osteoarthritis and one knee is bone on bone and when I straighten it, it crunches then gives way and make me Jult and feel sick, although I am still active in sport as don't tend to straighten my leg much while playing I'm reluctant to give up yet and consultant won't do a knee replacement till I'm not able to play. But I was wondering if anyone has any wonder tips on managing pain everyday.
