If you count when I first entered as an 18 year old, it's 2 inches. I think 2/3 of that is in my back. The rest is the cartilege in my knees. Lots of pounding for a lot of years. I was also a runner when young...started earnest training in 6th grade. Haven't run one step since I retired. (And my weight shows it, but I can now walk without pain. BTW, why does ibuprofen work better than tylenol on me, but vice versa with others?)

I've not heard many people tell me that Tylenol works better than Motrin. I tend to order Motrin for more severe injuries.
It might be a placebo thing. You know those double blind studies where they compare the side effects of a new drug to a placebo and the people on a placebo have side effect? Some on placebos get better as well.
