I have osteoarthritis in bothe knees from a lifetime of activity
I don’t want my knees cut out and replaced with metal
I get cortisone and orthovisc alternating every 2 months
I heard of the disc that duke has in trials. Is it effective?
Can I get it or something similar in my worst knee?

I'm up in moore county NC.......can you say more about the disc that duke is developing? I have heavy cartilage loss in one knee. Had hyrulanic acid injection at Duke sports medicine last year. Didn't help but I increased exercise on my legs and I am almost pain free for now.
