Hi Bunky, glad that you checked in and things sound less scary and more manageable unless I'm getting this wrong. Is there a treatment for the bone-on-bone issue? My brother had bone-on-bone in his hip and had surgery. This was years ago and the doctors at the time were looking to synthetic cartilage or ways to stimulate new cartilage as the future likely treatments. And especially hopeful about stem cell therapy. But that's all I know so don't know what current treatments are.

Hi Callallo~
Thought I might answer your inquiry into bone on bone knees. I found out that there is no space between my bone and well..the other bone...so no room for a needle intervention. I'm seeing the OS this Wednesday...and gee..after they got all my recent x-rays and MRI..I got upgraded to a 20 min. consult! Don't know if this is a good omen or not...but, I'm thinking positively...not much else to do. Yesterday I couldn't get out of my own way..knee pain..lower back pain...mid back pain...cranky's! I finally had a glass of wine and an hour later took a tylenol and an ibuprofen....that took the edge off....now, this morning..I'm pretty much pain free!
Actually...I have pretty good am's...but around noon, I start to get into pain..that lasts well into the evening. Most days I just try to walk if off in my house....keep moving...then hot wraps and my infra-red belts for treatments on my back, hips and knees...at least this takes my mind off of the pain. It's quite fatiguing, I'm finding....
I have been doing collagen everyday...I do notice that my nails are brilliantly strong!...guess it helps all things that collagen affects.
I'll let you know how the consult went....stay safe out there...keep moving....have you tried the balance exercise yet?
