Thank you for your response. Everything you say is true. I am one month after surgery now and walking on my own inside and using a cane when walking my dog long distances which I do twice daily. I did have a setback a week ago and could not walk without severe pain. The doctor said I overdid it and I took another 4 days and tested more.
Your advice is very intelligent No I couldnt agree more.

Mari, I am interested in the stem cell possibility and have done a little research. Great to know that it is being done at Mayo. However, it seems to me that this would be of benefit BEFORE you are "bone on bone." I am assuming that the stem cells grow tissue and don't effect the bone. I need to double check, but I believe that in looking at xray the doc said that I had already damaged the end of the bone and the positioning of the joint.

I'm not qualified to answer you, but I'm supposed to be "bone on bone" - in quotes because if we r really bone on bone - our leg would be straight and not be able to bend at all.
I have a lite weight brace that I can use 4 v-ball and standing long or walking a long time. this is supposed to push my bone outward and open up a space for me to receive stem cells.
Keep searching and asking - Good Luck.
