could work, give it a shot. You can also try fish oil if you can overcome the herbivore thing. Fish oil has lots of positive effects on the body including reduced inflammation in things like joints.
I fucked up my own knee really bad at the beginning of march, a ligament snapped inside. I went to the doctor and ended up waiting months for an MRI when it was blatantly obvious if I had a physical assesment that something was destroyed inside. My leg was swollen for a few days, the knee stayed swollen for a 2-3 weeks. It was very delicate to begin with and I couldnt extend leg.
The knee also makes a loud cracking noise now whenever bent.
I started to ride bike again as soon as possible which helps reduce stiffness, if I stop it locks up and becomes painful. I got the results of the scan a few days ago which shows that some of my cartilage is missing. Cartilage does not grow back! So in addition to a really fragile feeling knee, Im likely to never be able to run or walk over distance ever again.
It sucks but I can still ride which is cool.
