Your poor knee! Maybe ask your doctor about GABA-pentin? I am NOT a medical professional in any way, shape, or form, but I have used it in past to help with pain management and it really works on nerve pain, especially when you in conjunction with other methods.
My son had many procedures and surgeries on the knee after a mishap ... radio wave ablation of the nerve endings helped, and then management as chronic regional pain syndrome. There are approaches that are non-opioid. It is a misery to be seemingly held hostage by one's body and you have my sympathies, sir.
You promised a footnote to "When you’ve bought all the cars and boats and mansions". Your footnotes are my favorite part of your posts, and I feel cheated. In revenge, I'm not going to sympathize with your knee! Take that!
Musk does not threaten "freedom of speech." Musk owning Twitter would undermine "permission of speech"--speech allowed only if it is permitted by leftists. That's different.
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, is that Mx Boot quote real? How did they cram so much stupid into one person? I wouldn't have thought it possible. From the Grand Coulee Dam to the capitol, as they say...
Max Boot is the opposite of Max Headroom. Elon's point in buying Twitter is to re-open the public square to freedom of speech and thought. Section 230 was designed so as not to hold the platform liable for what someone posted on the Tech site. Twitter is a platform. If someone posts something libelous it's the poster's problem, not Twitter's. "Content moderation" is, as you point out, censorship nowadays, and censorship in only one political direction, q.v., WIV lab and Hunter's laptop.
I've had five (5) knee operations on one knee, ending with a knee replacement and another after my kneecap broke. My surgeon was just aces. SEE A KNEE SPECIALIST. I also agree with stretching, but pay for a trainer when you go to the gym. The limp makes me wonder if you have full extension.
As an old man, I have a little chronic pain just living so I understand a little about how bad it can be. Keep doctor shopping because pain management is a really hard problem. Please know that we are pulling for you. You are so much better then CNN+ I'm glad I'm paying.
God works in mysterious ways. Who knew a Christian satire site whom I started reading for their on point jokes about church potlucks and youth ministers would be the catalyst for the hostile takeover of the digital insane asylum? Babylon Bee: Satire for such a time as this - right after Purim too! Lol
While I can't comment on Starlink, I have been very happy since I dropped Comcast and got the Verizon 5G home internet service. Took me about 5 minutes of wandering around the house with the app to figure out the best corner for it and been solid ever since. I've had a few issues like some devices didn't like the wifi and had to be cabled in, but that's pretty minor. As much as I hate how much Verizon charges me for cell service, $40 a month for 300MB DLs with no data cap is a good price.
Tore up my knee in the military in 1965. 3 operations gave me a "functional" leg. (Hey! I'm grateful. I damn near lost it.) Wake up to pain every day since. I have a 'sensitivity' to morphine and most of its derivatives. Make me puke.
But . . . My pain doc prescribes a cheap cream called Pennsaid (pen-sed) that says it's only for knees. I use it on the really bad days as soon as I can after awakening. It generally helps quite a bit. Maybe you should check it out. Maybe it's like your mixture, but I think it has DMSO to help it penetrate to the inside of the joint. And CDBs didn't help me either.

Have you tried getting cortisone shots for the knees? Or stretching exercises? Sorry you're still in pain!
"Max Boot" = "Min Brain".

Sorry about your chronic pain.

Keep your sobriety. Be well.

"The right of the people to properly moderated speech, or a properly moderated press...."

Good luck. Bad knees are misery.
