I did a longish walk yesterday. All well on way out with lots of uphill bits. Coming home - with downhill bits of course, was in agony with one knee. It has only starting happening in the last few weeks, since about Christmas. I'm hoping it will go away. Definitely 'bone on bone'. Seems to go all the way up to my hip after a while.

Must not give up exercise!

Am amazed it took till now for you to get results on x-rays before Christmas !!! (had mine the other day- waited 2 mins in waiting room then back to look at them and discuss with surgeon).

Impossible to comment without having the x-ray results- but if you are bone on bone with osteo-arthritis (as I am)- no injections will solve the problem and surgery will probably be the way ahead, But yes, weight, age and fitness, muscle tone + your mental attitude are all factors that will influence decision. Good luck. Do report back after the assessment.
