Yes sir. That is what Doctor Lee is telling me too. It may buy some time.. He said my cartilege and bone surfaces looked like the Lunar surface. potholes everywhere from the arthritis that has also done my lower back and your hip as well.. He said right now on a 1-4 scale my knee deterioration from the arthritis is a 3.5 to 3.75 so it is inevitable and we are simply trying to find something to help to prolong the inevitable..
I have to be at he MAyfield Clinic on Jan. 7 to seek their expetise and help with my lower spine situation. Hopefully they can repair both sides of the spinal column and relieve this constant acute pain there.
Will see. IF I can stave off the knee replacement then I can go ahead and have the spine surgery done..
Will hopefully get some answers in a couple of weeks...
