[QUOTE="Shari, post: 180755, member: 1848"] Another OA here. Tho mine was artificially created. I had a slight knee injury that just never would go away, so they finally did surgery and discovered I had torn a huge portion of cartilage off the weight-bearing surface of my femur. It was not totally dislodged and free floating, but was long since dead, so they went ahead and removed it, so I'm bone on bone in my right knee. However, my dad and brother both had/have degenerative arthritis, and my surgeon said I will end up with same. For knees, steroids and NSAIDS, as well as PT and they are coming up with some fluid enhancers/replacements that are very helpful. My dad and ex-mother in law got a lot of relief from Synvisc injections. There are also some places that are successfully transplanting cartilage. Not familiar with options for other joints, but I'm sure there are similar treatments for them, too. [/QUOTE]
