Oh boy you REALLY had quite a time! Sorry, but I did enjoy the image of peas everywhere.

I have osteoarthritis in both knees, so I have a little idea of what you are feeling. If the over the counter stuff doesn't help the pain, talk to your doctor for a prescription. Even if it is just till the initial hurting and swelling eases up.
