Hoping u have quick recovery from hip rehab. And hoping jaw injection goes smoothly. Keep us updated🤞🏻🙏

Greetings from Canada! I too have had the injection to replace lost cartilage in joints. In my case it was the right knee, which is on the wait-list for replacement (I anticipate a 5 or 6 month wait). I had my left hip total replacement done in 2018, and my only regret is that I didn't get it done sooner. You're going to love it! The cartilage injection is made from rooster combs and binds to the joint quite easily. Results are varied, with some patients having an annual injection while others are once and done. Mine lasted for almost a year, and it sure was nice to be able to move and function like normal. I also have 8 rhyzotomies (nerve burnings) done in my lower back every 4 months, L-1, 2, 3, 4 bi-laterally, and a nerve blocker in my right hip. I hate the sting of the freezing, but it's pure magic after that. I just wish they didn't grow back so fast. Some people get relief for a year or more, but regardless, it's worth it.

I put too many things off for too long for reasons that just don't make much sense. But I've learned my lesson, and it's: Don't lump all your medical issues together in one big ball. It's too overwhelming and depressing. Separate the issues and tackle them one at a time, starting with the one that's most important to you. Treat your recovery like a full-time job and be committed to the treatment plan. Things will get better and life will be good again.
