the orthopod decided that rather than doing another surgery, he would use injections.
i get 2 injection one in each knee for 5 weeks. it is a salt of hyauronic acid. it comes from the comb of the rooster.
will see what happems.

Is this Synvisc/Hyalgen? My mom has gotten those injections in the past for her very arthritic knees - which I now suspect is from decades of what I believe is undiagnosed Lyme. She does get relief for a few months, then has to repeat.
Wait a minute - this is from a rooster? Does that mean you'll be up at daybreak, crowing?
I hope this helps!!

let us know how it goes....with the injections..

First you have to catch the rooster-that's the real therapy. They just throw in the injection so they can charge a lot of money. Posted by stymielymie (Member # 10044) on :
i did have the urge to eat cracked corn this morning.
i guess the neighbors will complain if i get up at 5:00 and crow from the roof!!!!!!!

Doc, cut the knee BS. We all know you, Paris & The Donald had a Restylane party last night... Posted by Jill E. (Member # 9121) on :
Cobweb,
I think you're onto something. Your approach combines physical therapy/rehabilitation with the medication.
DocDave,
I've tried to restrain myself, but I must say...I hope the rooster medication doesn't make you...cocky!
Lymenet has become a zoo. We post about ducks, insects, squirrels..now roosters.
