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!!

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.

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.

Where is a veterinarian when we need one?

Good luck with the injections!
