its not just for old people

I'm too young to start having joint pain, but the fact is that I do. It seems that the cartilage in my knees is worn out...one knee is worse than the other, so it's not just something that happens to old people. I even went out and bought a bottle of joint pain supplements but then never got around to taking it till it was almost expired. Oh well! I think I was in a bit of denial myself. What has helped is moderate but regular exercise, such as walks and even going up and down stairs, which I thought would make it worse, but it has actually made it better. Hope my enthusiasm for keeping it at bay continues!
