These knees of mine have suddenly started complaining!

Lately, I have been feeling quite a bit of knee pain, and honestly, I am starting to wonder where it came from.
One minute I am fine, and the next I am getting up from a chair or walking around thinking, “Who gave my knees permission to start behaving like this?”
Maybe I have been putting too much pressure on them, or perhaps this is just one of those things that starts showing up as we get older.
For those who have been around longer and have had similar experience, did knee pain become something you noticed more as you got older? And what has helped you manage it?
I would genuinely love to hear what has worked for you.

I can understand that. Weight can definitely put extra pressure on the knees. I hope you are able to reach your goal and that it helps with the pain too.

You are right, I probably should. I have been hoping it would settle down on its own, but if it keeps bothering me I will get it checked.

I'm older (63 this coming October) but still not old and have never been bothered with joint pain. I'm sorry your knees are bothering you. Have you talked to your doctor about the knee pain? What did your doctor suggest?

63 and no joint pain is something to be thankful for! I have not spoken to my doctor yet, as I was hoping the pain would settle, but I may have to if it continues.

The Mister is having trouble with his knees too. He is older than you ....he just turned 60 last month.
He rubs cream on them and has started wearing special knee pads . It helps but does not take the pain away totally.
