Knee problem sufferers...

[Tom Treks]

Saw this buried in a post about trekking poles on another site.

These things look very interesting. Not bank breakers either.

The symptoms they mention here are exactly what I suffer from when my knees act up. Usually from excessive boulder hopping.

I guess these things are really growing in popularity.

Good thing for old folks like you, Tom.....I'll have to wait 'til I'm old enough for my knees to act up

When the Man waked up he said, "What is Wild Dog doing here?" And the Woman said, "His name is not Wild Dog anymore, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always. Take him with you when you go hunting."

You can buy these at local sporting good stores. You can also use a jumpers knee strap and it will do the same for less. Some are more comfortable than this model.

Remember people, that I work for a group of orthopedic surgeons.......so I can get anyone knee braces and good stuff like that
