I am guessing it is osteo arthritis ??? which is wear & tear or an joint that has ben compromised from from an injury that can't be repaired through surgery. Sadly for you other than to take glucosamine products and/or shark cartilage daily there isn't any medications that will help osteo, but if you were a friend of mine I would advise you to try the glucosamine products as the newest research indicates a better than average repair to the cartilage. Just in case it hasn't been explained before, in layman terms, Osteo arthritis developes where there isn't much cartilage left between the joints so of course the cushioning isn't what it was before & the joint can get very painful.

Good luck,
Maz
