[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1600438, member: 25884"] I too, maybe went to the doctor once every couple of years for either the usual female checkup, or for a sore throat that would usually mimic strep. Or a major problem like the accident in 1998 and the one in 2007 that did damage to the knee. Mine hit when I hit 60's. The hard pounding on concrete floors on my legs/knees/feet between waitressing and then milking cows and then milk testing has done a number. The ankle has really been very painful the past 2 years, the knee for at least 5. The ankle is getting replaced after the first of the year, after being told by several doctors that fusion was the only answer. Found a dr that said, noooooo, fusion is the very last thing you ever want to do... and after research, Duke Medical in NC has done the highest number of ankle replacements in the country and I have several very good local referrals. So, get that done, then the knee(s) next, then the shoulder. I joke that I will be the Bionic woman when I get everything replaced. But, why suffer in pain if they can replace it and give you years of comfortable life. I have tried every other route, prolotherapy and stem cell, and there are some things that have helped but most of the things I tried, were too late to repair the damage that was too far advanced. I worked hard for these aches and pains, let the medical experts "fix" them and give me some comfortable retirement time. I EARNED my retirement time and my medicare paying for fixing the worn out stuff. [/QUOTE]
