Perhaps the body wasn't meant to be cut, BUT, for many, to alleviate pain, surgery is the only way to go. When I had hip replacement in 2005, it was the very best thing I could have done. No more limp and I was back using our boat and going to the Range with my wife. My rodeo/roping days had ended five years earlier, basically due to lack of money and selling my horse.
I know how you feel about surgeries, Jaminhealth, but for my of the young and old/older, it's definitely the only way to go.
That's right I feel it should be VERY LAST RESORT, an emergency or the like, and when I finally did my THR I went in with positive thoughts that I would come out much improved, didn't happen for me. I live with 4 major complications. I'm 80 so maybe I'll make it to my end with what is. Still want to check out more Prolo for the knee. Could use it on whole body but funds prevent this NOW. Maybe if insurance ever helps this type of healing, I'll do more, like back.
