I had a problem with my right knee years ago. The Ortho thought it had a tumor. He told me my left would "go" within 5 yrs. (based on the preliminary Xrays.)
After the MRI which showed no tumor or cyst and said I have "fair" cartilage, he gave me an injection of steroid + marcaine. That worked for a little while.
But what REALLY worked was using SAMe....I used it for a decade and stopped for a short time, which flaired the knee again, so I am back on it.
Suffice it to say, my left has never acted up at all, and it is over 10 yrs now! (knock on wood)
This ortho wanted to do a knee replacement, and that is all he talked about. I won't be going back to HIM either!
The SAMe works well for me and my osteoarthritis.
