I can't flex either of my knees fully so i'm guessing there's fluid in there. I have constant, manageable pain and i have to be careful about when i try to crouch. Since i've been taking it, i've noticed a big difference. Very little pain if any during any kind of activity but i still can't flex.
It was recommended to me by a friend and i put off taking it for some time. Finally started, then i quit for a bit because i got busy and let it slip my mind and the pain came back after a few days. Been back on it and it's all good again.
I've never had my knees checked. Used to think i had back issues until i went to the chiropractor and he took xrays and was amazed at what good shape my spine and disks were in (turned out to be all muscluar--lots of stretching and sit ups helped) so i'm sure i don't have as much actual damage in my knees as i might think.
I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the GC works for me, but i don't know exactly what it does to keep the pain at bay.
Some people believe it helps while others don't.
