Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Strongly disagree. The primary reason to delay surgery is the risks associated with it. Whether it is infection (officially around 2% of patients) or death from blood clots (I have no specific data but have had two friends die or suffer strokes following surgery). Surgery is invasive and carries risks. And, not all joint replacements turn out equally well.

Actually, I understand they have come out with a single injection that is supposed to be just as good. Anyone here have experience with them? > > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > > > > > ville, TN > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
