Dr. Darrow who does Prolotherapy says DON'T do those replacements unless an emergency..... He says as long as one can bend the knee, which I can and continue to every day, there is collagen there....
I wear knee supports and lots of topical stuff and take lots of supplments including collagen.
I did a hip replacement 2 yrs ago and it's been a mess with the rest of my body, everything out of alignment....OA worse in many areas.
These replacements are major traumas to the body....Lucky is the person who comes out unscathed....View Thread

I saw the surgeon 3 times post op, xrays etc and of course he said all is OK....
Well, it's not all OK, going in I dealt with Fibro and OA in many other areas, so for me it's not been a great outcome....
The IT band damage has just made it all worse, this is down the side of the thigh from the Anterior replacement....
grrrrrrrrr......View Thread


It's 2 yrs 2 months since hip anterior hip replacement and I have nasty IT Band damage down side of hip thigh, and back issues all worse....
It's been a nightmare for the most part...I've done so much PT, and now doing acupuncture and mesotherapy injections for the worsening back issues...
The only Pain I don't have anymore is groin pain.
I had OA going in along with FM so everything is worse...
