Tight ITB, and tight tendons.I want to fix my patella abnormal movement, and smoothening the cartilage, because mine have cartilage fibrillation. After the recover i can go back to sport. I spent a lot of money for the doctor's, and PT, and i can't fix it without surgery. So sometimes the surgery the last option which can help to you. Everyone is different, but mine a bit complicated.
Robby, there's nothing for it but to keep moving. I also encourage a significant stretching routine AFTER you've worked out. Do it when you body is hot. Get on the floor and get into weird stretch positions. For my shoulder OA (I also have torn AC joints), I drink lots of broth. I think the collagen in natural broth - particularly beef broth - has helped quite a bit.
