    Bad knees are not only painful, they are likely to get worse as you get older. Not to mention how bad gaining weight is to them.

    I haven't even started driving yet. I'll be starting school on the 17th. My knee issue is from growing too fast. I was 6 6 by 16 and a little over 6 foot by 13. Occasionally the knee will get loose in its socket and try to lock up on me when I stand up from a chair or from a squatting position. It doesn't happen all the time and I have developed a squatting position that keeps that knee from locking up.
    I'm afraid I will need to get knee replacement surgery but I need to get the money first. This was my highest grossing year of pay at right around $11,000.
    Needless to say I'm hoping I can make good enough money in the trucking industry to afford such a treatment in the next 10 years. At just 30 years old I know that I'm still a little early to be having those kinds of issues but that's what I get for being a giant LOL
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
