I'm going in to the dentist to have the last of my teeth removed for dentures. Since I have a hip and a knee replacement, I'll be on antibiotics to prevent infection. The dental surgeon explained to me that my joint replacements might get infected with this type of invasive surgery. But what I don't understand is the connection between dental surgery and my joints. Why wouldn't I just get a mouth infection? 7 weeks 6 days ago 78
Do you think exercising in a pool for my knee arthritis is really worth all the mess and fuss of getting wet, having to shower, and redo my hair and makeup? It seems easier to just walk on the treadmill but my knees do hurt afterwards. 7 weeks 6 days ago 96
The health club I go to has several different pools to choose from. I like going in the water because it makes my arthritic knees feel better. I've been just using the regular pool to walk and do my exercises. But they do have a pool with a treadmill in it that I could use. Is that easier or harder than walking on the bottom of the pool? 7 weeks 6 days ago 81
My doctor told me after my total knee replacement, I won't need any special therapy or rehab. The physical therapists at the hospital will show me what to do before I leave and that's all that's needed. My sister (she lives in a different state) told me she had a special exercise program they called "functional." She says the reason she is doing so good is because they pushed her not to be afraid to move. Maybe I need that, too. What do you think? 9 weeks 4 days ago 121
I was on the last part of a three-week spiritual pilgrimage with a group in another country, when my knee arthritis started acting up. Our guide took me to the university hospital where we were staying. They gave me a treatment they called "blood injection therapy." I gathered from the interpretor that this is some way to give me my own platelets to stimulate healing of the tissue. I was amazed that by the time I got back to the United States, the pain and stiffness were much better. Do we have this treatment here? How does it work? Should I go for another shot? 10 weeks 5 days ago 99
