Calling All Readers! Any Questions Out There?

I'm throwing this post wide open, inviting any of you to contribute. I know I usually run these posts with the heading "Open Comment Forum," but in this case, I want to see how many readers are left out there (I know some have drifted to the exits over the years, hopefully as their knees have gotten better).

For years, I've talked about stepping back from this blog (I'm kind of talked out, and my knees aren't a problem anymore, so "Saving My Knees" is becoming more like a receding bad memory). I have cut down on the frequency of posts, but every time I'm ready to take a hiatus, it seems, there's a little flurry of book orders, and I think to myself, "Maybe those people will come here, looking for a place to turn, and find an abandoned storefront! That wouldn't be good!"

At this point I'm mainly interested in posting about three things:

(1) Success stories. If you have one, and haven't shared it yet and would like to, please post it below! It doesn't have to be, "Your book changed my life!" I'm not fishing for plaudits. Rather, I think everyone out there with hurting knees benefits from reading success stories. They're all a little different, and I think that's good, because knee pain, and the best ways to treat it, are all a little different. I like to turn success stories into posts.

(2) Questions from readers. People are often struggling with things, and I like to post the questions, as people who follow this blog may have answers. Of course I don't always. For example, if the question is "Has anyone had a bad experience with hyaluronic acid injections?" I'm not going to be much help, because I've never had the procedure. But others can chime in.

(3) New science/medical studies/research. I'm always watching to see if something new and interesting crosses the wire, as we say in the news business. So far, most of what I've seen over the last few years just reinforces the findings and the message in "Saving My Knees." And that's a good feeling.

So how about it? Any questions or untold success stories out there?
