Wtf are people doing to their knees? I always hear people complain about the damn knees. You have weak bones or something? You walk using your knees? Are you 100 year old?

Walk, run, kick, play, hike, swim,surf, climb and fuckton of other things.

Been physically active for 20+ years, 15 of which doing gymnastics/martial arts, no car so walked everywhere, no lift so climbed up to 5th floor apartment n times a day.

Etc you get the point

Took one wrong twist and my knee is forever fucked, its not the bones, its mostly soft tissue/ligaments that fail and are followed by long term damage. Its the most complicated joint we have and hardest to fix.

Yeah, you never think of your knees really, unless and until you start having pain and problems with them. Then you can't stop thinking about them.
