Re: Osteoarthritis

Hi JD: No worries at all. Thanks for responding. I have been asking around about the injectons and they do them on knees, but apparently it might take more than one and the price is quite steep. I will probably be seeing David, an Apoe4 member, he's a physical therapist and he's also in NYC. We'll d...

Re: Osteoarthritis

Hi David: Thanks so much for your thorough response. I'm having my PT tonight and will talk to the therapist. He does not do what you told me, but I will gently suggest it to him.

I'd not had it imaged, but the doc said I likely had a torn labrum. It was from a skiing impact injury several years before. My issue wasn't pa...

Re: Osteoarthritis

They took my blood and put it in the spinner to get some component of blood. Everyone was impressed by how much of that component I had. Then they injected the stuff into the capsule of the toe joint. (I think that was how they described it.) But no one had told me how painful it would be. omg. Ser...

I have been suffering for a year and a half with OA of the knee. Roxanne I have OA in the toe. The doc gave me surgical options. I asked if I could try a PRP injection. He said sure.
