Just wanted to update everyone on this. My knees have been progressively getting better since I started this thread. I don't feel any pain at all when I walk now, and the sensitivity upon kneeling is maybe a 1 on this scale now.
I'm not as anti-internal nail as I once was in light of these developments.

Very interesting!
Thanks for the update.
BTW Are you receiving any treatment or have you started any activity that could potentially decrease the knee pain?
If not, then would you have any idea why the pain has subsided? And are there times when your knee pain temporarily rises?

Hmm...
Three years ago I weighed 160 lbs, and that was when my knee issues were at their worst. Now I'm down to 135 lbs. Maybe less stress on my joints is the reason. My diet has also been a bit healthier in the past couple of years, so maybe improved nutrition also plays a part.
But that could very well be an illusory correlation. 160 lbs isn't all that heavy.
With the studies mentioning permanent knee pain I would be curious to see if the percentage of complications was still over 70% after 10 years for example. Glad to hear your pain has decreased mdow however I'll still be steering clear of tibial nailing. 
glad to see this!!!
btw, when people say they are against tiabial nailing,
internal tibias always requires tibial nailing, correct??

Too many says they're OK but in fact they suffer every day.
I've been told I'm the only honest one about what the procedure is really like. Not sure about it but having met so many patients all over I can say I healed up pretty well.
It may sound as I'm complaining a lot about aches or different problems but I'm just telling it the way it is. Nobody gets unaffected from this and I bet I can outrun most of the old patients in here.
