[QUOTE="Shari, post: 356006, member: 1848"] That's a good plan, Janet. I had my first knee surgery at 27. Somehow, I had torn the cartilage off the weight bearing surface of my femur and it was just a dead flap of cartilage hanging on. Obviously, that doesn't come back, so I've dealt with bone on bone for 10 years already. When I finally got released from my surgeon, I went to another doctor who looked at it from a maintenance perspective. He put me on a maintenance plan using ketoprofen with yearly (or so) steroid shots to the joint. It was amazing how the perspective changed the treatment options and the outcome. I am by no means pain free, but I can live with it. [/QUOTE]
