I do get a bit of relief when I take fish oil regularity, the other night it woke me up. It has come on in both knees at once. I feel the other night when walking and they have been aching. I find I m stiff as I get out of bed and get up off the lounge. I am trying to loose weight and hAve been walking at least 40 mins each day for months. Also I did go and see. Do for last year as I found my bones ached in general like I m typing now and their aching. I also take ostelin with vitamin d daily . Iam a fairly active person and take the stairs instead of A lift I blame menopause with my lack of success in loosing weight.
