KNEE JOINT CARTILAGE DAMAGE
For everyone with joint pain, osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, please ask your doctor to refer you to an Orthopaedic surgeon. Ask for treatment Yardel Sodium Hyaluronate and Celestone Chronodose. I don't know if these are available in the UK, but I was on holiday in Greece, and needed to see someone

Surgery after coiling
I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma 3 years ago, and I am on a watch and wait programme, then 2 years ago I had an unrelated SAH, followed by coiling. I made a good recovery but I now need a second knee replacement. I can't have anti coagulants, the anaesthetist says its scary, and the consultant

I also explained it caused my knee replacement surgery to be cancelled a year ago when it was

Help with pain
Hi. I have had bilateral hip replacements. 1 knee replacement and need the other knee replaced . I have other joints that have arthritis too. On top of this I have polymyalgia rheumatica. It's hard at times to know which pain is which. I wonder if anyone can recommend some good pain relief to cover both
