@beckychambers thanks. Had not heard of Arthrosamid. I looked it up and from Canadian and EU results, it looks very promising. I’m currently getting hyaluronic which have worked great, but only about six months. With delays in insurance approvals, it ends up being 7-8 months, which leaves a few month of acute pain.

@trimomlewis - You're welcome 🙂 Yea, arthrosamid is supposed to last "up to 5 years" - but that number 5 is only because that is how long the studies have been going on. They don't really know how long it might last! Could be much longer. The polyacrylamide gel they inject is a synthetic substance that our bodies do not break it down (unlike hyaluronic acid). It gets incorporated into our ligaments and other joint strengthening tissues giving them greater toughness and strength, and can last at least 5 years, maybe much longer.
Check out Whole body Vibration also - super helpful for all kinds of joint issues. Strengthens muscle, bone, and joints, and lowers pain and inflammation often dramatically and quickly, helping your body to heal from many health issues. I've been using WBV for 25 years and have written several books about it including, Whole Body Vibration: The Future of Good Health.
