These shots are like Synvisc shots.I have had them a few times in the past & did nothing for me. If you have no catilage in the knee no shots will help! If anyone out there knows of some miracle without having a knee replacement when you have no cartilage I would like to know ! Happy Veterans Day to all !

Discussion: Knee replacement vs. Stem Cell Therapy

Beejay,there's several factors to consider.First your age & all what the MRI revealed,how bad are your knees. Also if your doc says TKR, you might want a second opinion.I got one,if the're to shot then about the only thing is replacement which sucks! One of my knees finally took a dump & my ortho said I need a replacement.Some guys recover within a yr. & others like me still have a pain yr&half. It all varies on the individual. As for the stem cell therapy it hasn't really been proven to be effective!Also I might mention I tried another procedure that was told to me & it didn't do nothing,like the doctor told me I was wasting my time!

Discussion: Bone On Bone

I've been bone on bone for about 6yrs & tried about everything to avoid TKR. In Jan i went for subchondroplasty & the doctor said he only gave me a 20% chance of working & i went for it anyway. He was right it didn't work! My opinion is,it is a very temporary fix! Oh, had TKR done in May & still going thru recovery!

Discussion: Lower back problems

If i may make a suggestion to help back problems & sciatica problems! It's have worked for me & others people i suggested it to. Try and get some acupuncture treatments & most ins co.are now covering it. Try to find a chinese or taiwanese doctor. I did this & it was the best thing i could've done for myself! I will say it's not a permanent fix but it helped for 3 1/2 yrs & then had a couple more treatments & been fine since. Even my chiropractor said acupuncture is good! It's better then having surgery which doesn't help most of the time!

Discussion: Knee replacement

Thks for the info,to clarify my doc is a sports med. I've known him for over 30 yrs,did my 1st scope in 86. He just said i shouldn't run or jump on it so i would have a longer longevity on it. Yes the nights suck trying to sleep with pain,s changes.
Mannjo i did the accu-fill in Jan.on my left knee against my other doctors wishes who does this kind of surgery still doing therapy on it. He also said my knee was shot. I was out of town & just bending over when my right knee just popped a couple loud pops knocked me on my azz where i couldn't get up & had to go to emergency from the pain,it was worse then when i had the accu-fill surgery.
I have heard about the synthetic ankle surgery in the US,but the knee hasn't been approved here yet! Also know the rehab is very important. Well i appreciate all the input from everyone so far !

Discussion: knee pain

Doctors told me you shouldn't have cortisone to much, it weakens the tendons the more you have them! Also remember every time you go under the knife with anesthesia if effects your whole body as well as your brain (dementia)! I have been putting off knee replacement for several yrs till finally i have to have it. I've run out of temporary fixes!

Discussion: knee problems

Thks for the info Mannjo,I've been bone on bone for over 4yrs with pain of course, & avoiding replacement as well as my ortho doc says it would probably limit my running. Therefore i've been looking at other solutions. I suppose this is a fairly new procedure.Probably my ins.won't cover it. Where are u located ?

I've had the shots 3 different times & i know others who have had them as well & not much results.
