I've tried them all it seems, all the lasers cold and hot. My knee is way worse since the staph infection put me down for 4.5 months. Did not walk for 2.5 month due to the infection NOT being found by doctors. I have a grievence with the hospital doctors. An MRI found the infection and then it took 2 months of abx drugs. So my knee is more damaged than ever from this ordeal.

Some one told me they had stem cells to the tune of $4500 and no help. So it seems like the worse a condition is, the harder to quiet it down and try to live with it.

My knee started bothering me 22 yrs ago at age 57, I'm going to be 79 this summer.

And I dread another joint replacement as I live with the 3 side effects from hip replacement going on 7 yrs ago. Aging is not for sissies.

I'm going to make appt to see ortho MD in July or so and get his evaluation again. I've done so much PT and my leg is much stronger than it was with that infection going on. What a nightmare that was. Thanks...
