Yes, I flew to Canada last year and got Arthrosamid for my knee. I have previously tried multiple rounds of prolo therapy, PRP injections, autologous stem cell injections for joint problems - all of which were very expensive and the results did not last. I will not do cortisone shots as they are not good for you immune system and I was allergic to over 300 foods at one point, don't need more trouble there. The best things I have done for my joints and nerve issues are Arthrosamid and Whole Body Vibration. For the Arthrosamid, I flew to Canada last year. It was about $3000 USD, and it has been awesome. My once weak knee is now my strong knee - Halleluiah! I can now do a one-legged squat, with my other foot resting on that knee, and then jump up and down with all my weight on the knee that crippled me for most of my life. I have also been doing Whole Body Vibration for 25 years and have found it to be fantastic for all kinds of joint and nerve problems. Within days of starting Whole Body Vibration, my pain and inflammation levels dropped and my immune system and mood improved. Get the right machine though. There are many different kinds and they are not all the same. For example, you don't want to use a machine designed for an Olympic athlete if you are older and have some health issues. But with Arthrosamid, WBV, eating well and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), I feel fantastic! I am so much stronger and more active than I have ever been before. I am so grateful to finally be able to do the activities I love and enjoy.

I would also appreciate hearing more about your experience with Arthrosamid in Canada. It would help to know which doctor/clinic you used. It looks like there are a lot of choices in BC and Alberta. Also, do you know whether the degree of arthritis or age of the patient makes much difference?
Arthrosamid. Have tried to find solid evidence based search on this non-biodegradable because I too have severe knee osteoarthritis and am possibly facing a knee replacement.
Injections of anything only relieve symptoms and not solve the problem.
I had a total shoulder replacement and it went very well. All pain gone, all crunching gone, range of motion back 90% at 5 months.
Am not a fan of "resolving symptoms" with injections of anything, so am looking at this Arthrosamid closely.
What I could find on this injectable substance is that if it breaks down, the components become neurotoxic and carcinogens.
Maybe that is why it isn't FDA approved in the states?
Just saying....but I do hope I am wrong and can find more research...
Reminds me of the silicon injections to get larger boobs, but at what cost?

I have been to The Knee Clinic, Calgary Alberta.
Saw Dr. Dale Macdonald,
My knee has osteoarthritis from sports. Will eventually have a partial knee replacement, having had PRP several times over the years that was very effective. Will get the replacement with a private hospital clinic that has familiarity with The Knee Clinic.
All ages are treated at the clinic, all sorts of problems, so degree of arthritis is immaterial to
treatment. Excellent care. Great staff.
