I only believe that it might be an possible answer to an elusive problem. I wasn't aware of this either, so maybe someone can find some benefit. If it applies to you (generic you) than I'm happy. Good luck on getting old, in my case it's full of surprises for me. My specialist seems to be following the insurance requirements and hoping that some slurry injections will help for long enough that I may die eventually before an expensive knee replacement. Any med has some effect, even if it works and does nothing else. That’s an effect. the human body is an extremely complicated machine. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed the problem and it never came back. You can probably imagine my feelings about replacing parts. I'm generally skeptical. However, both my in-laws have had both their knees replaced and my sister had her hip done, and all of them recovered fully, so I guess it's OK. Me personally, I asked my cardio guy and he said that as long as it doesn't bother me my leg swelling is a cosmetic issue. So I'm cool. I have been having the Cortisone injections and they helped for a time. Now the last two time there has been no effect in my worst knee. The "slurry" injections (I don't really know the technical name for them) are done as a series of three visits. I assume that each application is allowed to accumulate the solids and form some sort of cushion for the bone on bone problem. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I got a cortisone shot in my lower back (before surgery was the final cure). They said it should last three or six months. Nope. Two days. If that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time went on, the frequency of the effectivness is shortening. One knee now doesn't respond at all to the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the shots that afternoon. They had some topical anesthetic so it felt better right away. Next day I woke up and the swelling was gone. This was after six months of disabling pain and swelling. No recurrence since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the contract had ended, there was some kind of huge legal dispute going on. On the roof of one building, in 20' tall letters written with some kind of asphalt material, someone had written "USA SUCKS!", which could only be seen from the top of their smokestack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
