Knee Pain
What helped the most initially was bed rest, using crutches and taking aspirin or ibuprofen, with temporary relief from the essential oil and icing. The physical therapy and acupuncture, combined with the glucosamine seemed to have the greatest effect, and after the one chiropractic treatment I've been pain free

Labral tear
So far I have found nothing to help with my pain. To this day I can only sleep on one side, and there are many ranges of motion and actions that cause moderate to sever pain. However, I recently was told that I have something that has to be surgically fixed. I am waiting to have my surgery.
