My knees hurt when I stand for a long time.

It's a chronic condition I've had for several years.

Actually, I wasn't someone who exercised intensely, nor did I live through hard times.

Even though I was just living an ordinary everyday life, I guess I can't help it as I get older.

I have also had tests and considered surgery, but the doctor did not recommend surgery.

Just light exercise and applying a patch, that's about it.

Should I take medication that is good for my joints?

It's really difficult since it's not even surgery.
