What's Happening Now
My dad has osteoarthritis in his knees and shoulders, not to mention scoliosis. A friend told me about a homeopathic pain relief lotion that has worked. After a few applications, his pain was significantly reduced. Now he applies it morning and night. www.PainLube.com Use Promo Code 72346 for FREE shipping & a gift. It has helped my dad so much, I decided to share this with other people. **This lotion may be an option. It helped my dad a lot. For self application to the back area, I recommend the roll-on.View Thread

I am curious if you had it done. I was 74 years old when I had it done. If you would be so kind as to let me know what your decision was and how your results came out. I have not talked to anyone else who has had both done at the same time. They always say how could you do that? It was tough but I am so happy with my results.

I have just gone through a major crisis, averted a diagnosis of lymphoma. Through this, lots of blood work, 2 neck surgeries and CT scans, thyroid cancer test, thyroid numbers everything has been poked and proded. I have "craniofacial hyperhydrosis"of no known cause. The only anomoly for me is the severe osteoarthritis of the c-spine, my discs are herniating in my neck, there is central canal stenosis and the sweating continues.
It is only my head that pours sweat, I am not talking beads of sweat I am talking about sweat that pours off my head onto me, the table, my grandkids. It's disgusting. Rivlets of sweat pouring down while I eat or watch tv or shop for food or do anything. I cannot make it stop. Also I have the sensaton of things walking on my head, feels like bugs walking around the scalp. Nothing is there it's a most annoying feeling. I get those nerve twinges on my head, twiches I guess you would call it. It drives me nuts.
Horminal? That stopped a long time ago. That is a catch all, doctors throw lots of stuff in that category. I wish doctors were made to suffer some of the things that we suffer, hormonal.
I am going to make an appointment with my neurosrgeon to see what he thinks. He is a good doctor and he is very sympathetic.View Thread

Arthritis does not have a permanent cure but what is important is the pain management and to halt or at least delay the progression of the disease. There are many options available, from pills to surgery. SPMF Therapy is one such therapy that my father took. It has been proven to reduce pain significantly and halt the progression of the disease. It does not involve any surgery or pain, and has been tested to be completely safe. There is no restriction for age or even if the patient has some other medical condition such as diabetes. Personally, I feel it is the best and the safest, most painless option for treatment of arthritis. More details are available on the website, www.sbfhealthcare.comView Thread
I see my Orthopedic in one week from today (May 6th) and want to approach him for Bilateral Operation. I live in a remote area 2 hours from the city where surgery would be done. IF he does not have a co-surgeon to do the 2nd knee simultaneously; has anyone out there ever had one Dr. do one and then the other under the same anesthetic????
We have a rehab center there as well and I am disciplined enough to follow through with all expected exercises for rehab. My husband will nurse me and help me fill in the missing links at home. Am retired so no need to rush back to work.
Comments please as to how to approach my Dr. and convince him to do both at once.
