I have chronic debilitating knee pain.

Have you considered knee replacement surgery?

I've considered every treatment regime under the sun, and they don't work
or wouldn't work. It's all soft tissue damage, so knee replacement
wouldn't work. Neither does accupunture, physio therapy, strengthening my
quads, glucosomine+chondritin, synvisc, cortisone, anti-inflammatories,
steroids, arthroscopic surgery, massage therapy, electrophoresis,
ultrasound, entophorisis(?), and a bunch of other treatments.

No, at this point, I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I'm going to be in
pain for the rest of my life, and when the pain gets too great, I'm going
to end it.
