Hi my question was that if a 17 yo girl's cartilage is damaged bc of doing skates should she use glucosamine?

I would first try and discover the cause of the knee pain with such a young age. Femoral anteversion , internal rotation of the femur bone. Common in young women her age. Custom orthotics might help. strengthening and stretching of the muscles are also important as for supplements I do not have a comment.
