I'm actually going to the gym once a week. I do light squats (high rep) on a machine because manual squatting without weights is nearly impossible.
Strength and conditioning is a positive impact indeed.
Arawn-
Having gammy joints myself, extensive knee and hip injuries, one which will require major surgery later this year - I very much know what you are going through.
But as Ive had these problems since 2008, and taken a strong interest in rehabilitative/prehabilitative exercise, Ive become fairly adept at addressing this sort of thing and modifying training protocols to cater for injuries and limitations.
So if you need a hand, a bit of advice or whatevs. Give me a shout.

Have you considered gym/strength work?
I'm having to swallow the bullet and accept that no matter how much stretching and rolling I do, I need to get proactive with the conditionig to sort my knees (well, mainly the left one)
As well as the obvious bar squats (will go mid weight high rep) I'll be working on one legged squats/dips, lunges, leg presses (1 and 2 legged), and some other bits and bats, working on posture and general strength.
I may be wrong but I think for anyone with bad knees, strength and conditioning should have a positive impact.
