My ortho told me about it and said that of the 27 patients they had on it, 26 had remarkable results. He asked if I wanted to try it...guess what I said?
From what I have heard, people are growing new cartilege with this!
Again, it is brand new on the market!

1. Very Interesting, I will pass it along to my wife the PT and see what she

thinks about it. She works in a rehab unit a major hosptial, this is what she deals with all day long. Knee replacements, hip replacements and the like.

2. I tried to tell another person, & their doc had already ordered it 4 them

I hope this will alleviate the suffering so many endure, so please spread the word.
Oh, and of course I don't own stock or know of anyone who does.
I only want to be a recipient who receives relief. I don't know if W/C will pay for it tho, so otherwise I will get a knee replacement in June. Since I would rather have something non-invasive, I am hoping this will do the trick!

4. My doc winked when he said he wanted me to wait 5 years...

I wondered why they had me come in, since I had just been there 2 wks before. I told him I could not wait 5 years for the knee replacement, and I wanted it in June. He looked at me with this twinkle in his eye, grinned, and said he wanted me to wait 5 years.
I was aghast! NOOOOOOO, I said, it wakes me up at night and I have a hard time walking.
It was then that he told me of the good news.
I was told it cost $4,000 for the first knee, but is cheaper for the second knee. Of course this is alot less than a knee replacement, and no time off from work!
My big hope is to be able to dance again, and go metal detecting (my #1 hobby).

5. My mom had both her knees replaced last year.

I was hoping they would come up with something better.
