I have a messed up hip replacement revision with pain two years out. The surgeon keeps insisting that ‘everything looks ‘fine’. This post makes le encouraged to keep trying to find the SOURCE of my pain so it can finally be treated. It’s obviously not the replacement itself….
I had a successful total knee replacement this past October. I, too, was bone on bone, likely from decades of running. But the pain I had before the surgery is gone. I still have a slight amount of scar tissue on the outside of my knee which aches every now and then, but my doc and my PTs told me to expect that It will take up to a year for me to heal fully. I am very glad I had it done, delayed by a year because of the Covid “no elective surgeries edict.”
Hello Dr. Yoho. Very glad to have met you at the event. Meeting doctors like you gives me hope. I just finished the book "Inner Balance- The Power of Holistic Health" published in 1979. It contains essays from various leading medical providers at the time. They were all so hopeful that the medical community was on its way to treating patients in a holistic fashion - including attending to their spiritual needs. Obviously things went terribly astray. Do you think there is any link to the vax liability protection granted in 1986? Did the government unwittingly unleash a demon? Thank you again for being a physician committed to ethics.
Hub had both knees done as partials, did great, still doing great, recovery time 4 days, a you pull it out 2 day pain dispenser, great Ice Pack that is really reusable, at home rehab. Then Medicare steps in and insists on full knees. Why when they are more trouble for the patient, more limits on mobility, longer rehabs. Shoulders by the same ortho were different, Left was just cleaned out, a few years later the Right had the shoulder ball replaced and a clean out, full Rotator rehab. No change in the pain level. He sleeps poorly. OA drugs damage your Gastro Tract, and don't help much. Where is the Rotator cuff tear located, I've been told MRI's are required for them. My shoulder tear shows up on X-ray at the top of my shoulder. The Steroid shot was painful and worthless. Robert, we need you to explain why OA drugs damage the Gastro Tract. I know the damage Steroids' and Cortisones cause. Gastro said the 20mg Nexium that is OTC, is only 10 mg. It is now $30 for a box of 28 tabs/capsules. BTW, he has a bad Rotator tear, He treats with Stem Cells, which we know Medicare/Tricare Life will never approve for use. And does good, he does wear those Neuropathy TED type knee high socks as he's on his feet most of the day. Hub is trying them and likes them.

Thank you for your relevant irreverence.
