My father had a knee replacement and his mobility is up to close to where it was before he ever injured his knee at all. My aunt had both knees replaced and it drastically improved her mobility as well. Gotta make sure to not overwork the PT though, but definitely don't skip out on it either. I have a great-aunt who refused to do any of the PT and was the worse off for it.
I think when my dad got his knee replacement years ago he shunned the physical therapy and ended up worse. Anytime I've had to do physical therapy I have been diligent in getting it done. That's the secret to a good recovery.
That is similar to my dad's replacement. Was limping for a few weeks. But within 3 months he was fine. He is also morbidly obese and he is a tennis freak , playing 3x a week. They say each person/surgery is different for people. But he would recommend it for anyone who needs it. I think it's been 3 years now for him.
My wife needs a knee job, I just have the usual pain you get when you get older ? lol I give you all a ( ATTA BOY) for pursuing your dream, well maybe not dreams, but alot of fun, and keeps you out of trouble with wife ( hopefully) !!!!
Just bought a new condition stock Excal Blue 1000. Getting Tony to mod it up for me.... I don't care to much for the NOX and sold it. I sold the old Blue and was dumb to have. Still have the CTX but you just can't beat the X on the beach.I have a WOT in a drawer if you want it. I don’t think ill ever use it. I’ll pm you to share a spot that is producing bigtime.No still in the Vegas area. If it wasn't for the state tax I'd probably come back. Henderson NV is just to dang cheap to justify going back. It's worth the drive now and then but there's nothing about CA other than the beach that interests me anymore. I see your starting to YouTube again...
Dude that gave it to me had it on an excal.
Here's what it basically is like. They drew a couple vials of my blood. Then they spun it in a centrifugal type of machine super fast , separating the red blood cells out. Leaving a yellow type of plasma which they then injected into my knee. The whole thing took about 25 minutes start to finish. I have very good Kaiser insurance and it cost me next to nothing. They told me if I had poor insurance that each injection is from $700-800. I get these shots every 6 months. Had 2 so far and it's worked great for me. The steroids , which I tried twice only lasted about 2 weeks for me. My knees aren't perfect but seem more reinguvinated now. I hope this can possibly help others that there are alternatives to steroids and replacements.
Having your blood jacked up probably isn't a good idea. But maybe the booze is spun out during the process , lol. Going on 19 years of sobriety.My knees aren't perfect but seem more reinguvinated now. I hope this can possibly help others that there are alternatives to steroids and replacements.
Thanks bud. I will be checking into this for sure. OH! one other question, did they say how much alcohol you could have in your blood for the draw.
