Re: Good Luck For Bad Knees: Uni-Spacer

Yes, and it just occurred to me (for our younger

members 20-somethings) there does seem to be research

going on and positive things happening. So it may not

be unreasonable to expect that within the decade

technologies will exist to routinely repair hyaline cartilage

and fix up our knees so you guys hopefully don't have

to look forward to a lifetime of pain...!? In 20

years time 2001 will seem like the dark ages...?<br>Joe

That's what my doc said. I sure hope something

comes along in the next few decades to help. It is hard

to think that I may have cildren in the next 5-10

years and not be able to run and play with them without

pain. My hope now is Synvisc, get my third set of shots

(both knees) tomorrow.

Yep, I really hope the synvisc works for you. But

always keep a positive attitude if you can! Something

WILL come up to help.... And in the meantime everyone

on this board UNDERSTANDS what you're going

through... Good luck!<br>Joe
