yup i had few in the knee, it helps alot .

hope that helps

Yea I had one in my knee, felt like a million bucks. Forgot all about it ever hurting........ untill it wore off, then life SUCKED. Ended up having knee surgery (Navy did the surgery) and now it is not any better. I just have ALT less cartilage in it. I have heard about cartilage transplants, I would like to find some more info about this as both kness hurt like hell anymore.
