Thanks to the miracles of modern science and physiotherapy, I'm back riding my bike a lot sooner than expected! I'll still need a knee replacement eventually, but I was referred to a sports medicine physician who has been giving me injections of Synvisc - a synthetic synovial fluid - in my arthritic right knee. I still have one more injection to go, but after that, the knee should be good for another 9-12 months! This stuff isn't cheap, and it isn't covered by my extended medical insurance, but it's a small price to pay for freedom from pain and greatly increased mobility.
I just wanted to share my good news since so many of you were so lovely and expressed such great concern when I was convinced I'd have to stop riding until I had surgery. Love you guys and gals.
