Guest guest Posted April 2, 1996 Report Share Posted April 2, 1996 Carol. Glad you let me know that we are neighbors. Yes, I am beginning to think that a good ortho is better than my rheumy. I go to Dr. Olazar in Ponte Vedra. She does not seem to be open to antibiotic therapy. However, since she has tried a lot of things already with me, she might change her mind. I doubt it though. Dr. Grimes in St. Aug. is very good. He is nice, talks to you and not down to you, treats with you respect, and is very well-informed. He is not surgery happy. Every nine months or so I get the hyalgen injections into both knee area to help put back the " natural " fluid to hold off on knee replacements for awhile. There is a series of five injections (each knee). As far as the AP therapy he suggested doxycyline 100 mg 2 x a day. I am glad to know that you are near. Have a good week-end. I am still recovering from pneumonia, been hit hard; my immunity is down so low. Martha, St. Aug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
