thanks, my partner has a bad arthritic right knee but also the cartilage was removed when she was young, and she still works in a nursing home, doing 12 hour shifts is hard for her so I get her to rub in Flexiseq daily and she takes Naproxen pain relief if needed, this does help but a new knee would solve the problem as I know others who have had knee replacements but as you know , unless you are almost immobile these days an op is difficult to get, so I thought about private health and in my local Nuffield hospital it would cost £12500 approx., out of the question!! I have heard knee replacements are good for 10 years but at age 66 she is not ready to give up with over 20 years experience behind her in care work, so I am trying to find a cheaper option than the Nuffield, but is difficult, Ta
