I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Sorry about the news. My buddy who is 38 just got the same new, but grade 2. He just got some Supartz joint fluid therapy injections and is back running and feeling good. www.managekneepain.com
This is encouraging. The Supartz injections are the next step that my doctor is planning. He already gave me a bunch of literature to read about them.

I notice that this link is two years old-but I happened to be searching online for info. related to running with no cartilage-and this is the first link that came up. You story is like looking in the mirror for me. I have been running for most of my life-it is passion and I am having a hard time replacing it with another sport-
I am 30 and as my doctor says-I have the knee of a 60 year old-osteoarthritis-probably genetic. I can no longer run without days of pain afterward-hence I have stopped completely to spare me being able to at least walk longer. I have been told by one of the best surgeons in Chicago that at this point knee replacement is my only option-but they will not perform this on someone until they are at least 45 or older-he also said that I would not be able to run with a knee replacement. So-if anyone still reads this link-I wonder if anyone has advice for a fellow runner with no knee cartilage?
