Anyone with knee problems from damaged or worn cartilage, ask your doc about hyaluronic acid injections. Once a week for six weeks, right into the joint.
Works on most people as long as things aren't so far gone there's no cartilage and it's down to bone on bone. Hyaluronic acid is what's naturally in the fluid in the joints and the body's production of it decreases over time. It's used to maintain the condition of cartilage. Taking it orally doesn't work, gets broken down by stomach acid, has to be shot in direct just like greasing a car's suspension. ;) My 69 year old mother had it done to both her knees, help a huge amount with pain and it keeps getting better. Officially the improvement keeps going up to six months as the cartilage repairs and rebuilds. Your mileage may vary. Amazingly, Medicare/Medicaid suffered a fit of sanity and this far cheaper than joint replacement procedure is covered, at least for now. Dunno how the "affordable" care act will change it. BTW: Do a Google on CDC salt study. You'll likely be surprised or perhaps "Ha! Knew that was wrong all along!". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
