But I've noticed that when people get canes, they have to have them ASAP, so

Have you seen a doctor about your problem ?

Oh yes. And they are decidedly unhelpful. My knees look perfectly normal on x-ray (although my physical therapist told me that I might consider getting an MRI), and the other aches and pains... *shrugs* With my knees the doctor told me to avoid kneeling. What will they tell me about my hips? Stop walking so much? Move to a warmer climate? That ain't gonna happen.

I don't think a warmer climate would help. I, personnally, have often pain in my knees too and a friend adviced me to do some yoga. I'm thinking about it.

Yoga eh? That's what a friend of mine also suggested. The problem is, I don't want to increase the flexibility of my joints. The looser they are, the more problems I have with them slipping.
But I am still tempted...
