I am 61 years old had 2 knew surgery's and am going to need a complete knee replacement. For me daily hiking is crucial. I do a daily 4 mile trail hike and without that I probably would not be backpack hunting. Also I've found for long term relief of knee pain I take a daily fish oil pill and you can also try chrondrotin and glucosamine. Seems some people see relief from the glusomanie others don't. Also I would encourage you if this continues to see your doctor. They may take X-rays and or a MRI. This is really helpful to see what exactly causes the knee pain. Then you may want to see a specialist. For me some cortisone shots one in the spring then one right before archery season is great. Last year I averaged 5-7 miles a day hiking and felt great. My doctor said my left knee if shot but to go as long as you can before knee replacement as technology gets better every year.. hope this helps from a long time knee sufferer
