But I still think doctors should be forced to do other procedures. They let it go with cortisone shots until it's too late for anything to be done except cut off bones.If you sit in a wheel chair anyway, after doing the procedure you can still sit until everything heals properly and keep your own bones.<br />But people jump on the bone cutting so they do that instead It's quicker and easier for them.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-56710184174446952792012-05-25T13:07:06.513-07:002012-05-25T13:07:06.513-07:00Thanks for the info!

It was all of the pain and not being able to do anything without it that made the decision for me.<br />It's not for everybody, but I am very strong willed which helped with my recovery.<br />I can dance, hike, ride my bike and walk without pain and it's wonderful. I feel blessed that this technology was available for me.<br />I ride my bike five miles a day now and can chase my grandchildren around. So for me it was a good thing. But as I said, it's not for everybody, you have to be very positive to go through it.<br />Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-46920494984681981062012-05-25T10:34:28.313-07:002012-05-25T10:34:28.313-07:00Diana - http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/sto...Diana - http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2010/02/cartilage.html<br /><br />This is a new technique they are working withA Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-30895688006156755212012-05-25T09:43:10.915-07:002012-05-25T09:43:10.915-07:00George - Its amazing the things we do not know.

I still believe they can scrape the bone and implant new cartilege (your own) and life will go on. I think Doctors take the easy way out not thinking about how people have to live<br />If you can, it's best to keep your own bones. Your body can perform miracles if you know what it needs to do so.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-14362223164853572332012-05-25T09:05:30.025-07:002012-05-25T09:05:30.025-07:00Thanks for all the interesting information.

I happen to think they are beautiful flower and do my best not to mow them until I absolutely have to.

After a year the shots didn't work anymore so I went and got myself two new knees. I had a total bilateral knee replacement. It was the best thing I've ever done. I have my life back, pain free.<br />At that point they were bone on bone and I was starting to use a wheel chair at 53! <br />I should be good for 30 years now. It's amazing.<br />I've always wondered about the Dandelions.I just never knew how to cook them, Thanks! Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.com
