Growing up I was a swimmer and water polo player, so I was never involved in any activities that would put a lot of impact on my knees. When I started playing softball, I would barely be able to walk for 3 days after games. I started using the Thermotex Infrared Heating Pad after reading the Bottom Line Natural Healing with Dr Mark Stengler article about it. The Thermotex has absolutely worked wonders for my knees, better than a standard moist heating pad. Infrared heat penetrates human tissue deeper without being too hot or uncomfortable to wear. I even used it on my back. Check out the Thermotex here: http://www.activeforever.com/p-1701-thermotex-infrared-heating-pad.aspx . I highly recommend it to ANYONE with knee pain.

It has really helped me with range of motion, stopping the achiness and also that "heavy head" feeling that I was experiencing. I have a very sensitive stomach so taking glucosamine really bothered me - this has not! I am so happy to find something to help me!

It has been the most helpful information I've found. I've had knee discomfort since an injury in middle school, which has turned into serious knee pain in the last couple of years. I was x-rayed by one doctor about a year and a half ago, but told he felt the results were inconclusive and I should learn to live with it, basically telling me that I must have been wrong about my symptoms. This article gave me some hope, some real suggestions for improving my pain level on my own and how to describe my symptoms better to a new doctor. Thanks! Thank you so much for this article.
