Thanks, Marlene. I've always suspected this, as part of the patient's reaction to a foreign body....We've had some posters here with knee replacements too, who have had PN afterwards which did not respond well to conventional treatments.
I wish the article would detail exactly which type of immunotherapy would be advised. IVIG? or methotrexate, etc? Or Enbrel or Humira?

This is the source from Mayo Clinic. I watched the very short video and the only thing they mentioned was the use of steroids with some patients in the study.
http://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/di...o-inflammation I am trying to decide whether or not get a dental implant. There can be negative consequences with them too...nerve issues, bio-compatability of the materials, bone graphs. The older I get, the more conservative I get with treatment options. |
