I have osteoarthritis and chondromalcia of my left knee. In treatment > 7 months.
I am over weight for my height. Diagnosis first discovered when my knee was clicking and popping when I would stand to walk. Alot of pain on the back of my knee & right inner region limited my ability to walk without a limp. Since December I have been taught strenghtening exercises-work on hamstring to losen up. Antiinflammatories from motrin to mobic. The clicking & popping stopped. The pain decreased greatly as long as I take antiinflammatories. Instructed no treadmill or exercise bike (which I was doing prior too lose weight). MRI didn't show a tear but above dx. I have lost close to 20 lbs->16lbs of fat) so far & doing strengthening exercises( supervised wellness program). MD is suggesting injection if no improvement in a few weeks. To make matters worst I had a traumatic fall over a duffle bag type suitcase and hit the ground (cement floor)face down on both knees. No further damage I know of. MD not aware yet. MD have told me I will have a total knee in years to come. Are injections appriopriate at this time & even arthroscopic procedure to see what's in there that may not show on scans?The tenderness is back rt front knee cap area? fall. Your thoughts?
Before anyone has a total knee they need to try this product. It has a lot of research out of John Hopkins. It is called "Bionicare" . It is a non-invasive treatment for Osteoarthritis of the knee. It is FDA approved and paid for by Medicare in most regions of the U.S.. There is nothing like it on the market, one of a kind treatment. The success stories are amazing and in most cases it has given people back their lives. It reduces pain and restores function that has been lost due to years of osteoarthritis. My recommendation is that if you are looking for answers besides a total knee replacement and have tried medication, rehab, injections, etc, I suggest you look into this as another alternative. I have a friend that has distributed this product for a few years and his patients have a 80% success rate.
