Last year I got a birthday card with a poem that started.. "If your older and you know it, creak you knees. Creak! Creak" and was suppose to be sung to the old "If you wanna get to heaven" melody. But it takes a lot less than back to back to back HM's to get a little twing going in my knees. So I'd have to say overall your knees are doing great.
About 5 years ago, before I started rowing, I would occasionally have to do the 2 step to go down stairs because of knee pain. I started a daily dose of glucoseamine chondroitin and within a month my knees were much better. Then I started rowing and I think that combined with the glucoseamine chondroitin, and some weight loss has put my knees in as good a shape as in my 40's (for me). But it didn't do anything for knobby and ugly unfortunately. Anyway I'm a believer in the stuff. I'm not sure if what you are experiencing warrants trying glucoseamine yet, but if it starts to get worse, I would say try it for a couple months at least. My $.02 Moose
