Dear Robin, I am not sure if you said you were on prolia or not. My friend who otherwise is doing well on prolia does have a sore knee with osteoarthritis as that can be from prolia.. They do say that glucosamine and chondritin help osteoarthritis in the knee but in some people it makes it worse. The B complex vitamins help some people with that. She does use Voltaren gel and I had the most painful hips and it helped like magic. I read about voltaren and it goes right down to the bone after applying the gel and really helps a lot. Since I stopped vitamin D3 and no calcium and taking magnesium the pain in my leg and knee is gone. I have a friend who did 8 years in medical research at Mt. Sinai Hospital and she said she is very impressed with all that I know and that the medical profession knows nothing about vitamins. I take extra virgin cold pressed olive oil every day and it helps joint pain and cholesterol and a whole host of other things. Apple cider vinegar taken every day helps a lot of things. I have low thryoid and am taking pills and I sure hope you are on medication for thyroid as I know 4 different people who died all on account of thyroid not being treated as it causes heart trouble and finally a massive stroke or heart attack. Will keep researching.for you.

Denise, Thank you for all your insights; the knee is one of those parts of the body essential for everything we do.
I do take extra magnesium, due to not having a thyroid; it helps with the cramping and other body issues.
I will pick up a tube of Voltaren gel this week; you are the second person who recommended this med.
Otherwise, I'm doing well, I enjoy moving; exercising is essential for my mind, body, and, spirit without it I would be so depressed.
Again, thanks for the advice.
Be well,
