Isn't getting older fun??
Ow, not familiar with that term however I have been diagnosed with bone-on-bone issues in both knees. I've had a total knee replacement in my left knee and since I have been riding I have not felt the need to have the replacement done on the right knee. I can't say it's because of riding, but it dosen't hurt like it used to. Riding for two summers now plus winter trainer riding has caused me to lose a significant amount of weight. I am certain that this has had a positive impact on my knees.

Getting older? Yeah, it comes with it's own set of problems and is not for the faint of heart!
