Hi Donna, sorry to hear you are in pain.
I too suffer with knee problems and have done since I was 8/9 years old (i'm now 26). My right knee is the worst of the two and I have so far had two arthroscopys. This is basically where they give the knee a good clear out and take out anything that is "loose" that shouldn't be. I had quite a bit of my cartilidge taken out as it was next to useless - and was told it would grow back???? Anyway, I have been told that I have the beginnings of osteoarthritis (spelling??) and that ideally I do need a knee replacement.....but hay, they won't consider me until i'm in my late 40's at the very earliest. At one time I was relying quite heavily on strong painkillers which, like you, were making me loopy as well as making me physically sick. It was then that they realised I had become addicted to them - make sure you listen to some of the advice on here about homeopathic stuff....it's got to be better than being addicted to pain killers?
Keep us up to date with how you get on.
