Re: Anyone heard of something called Prolotherapy?

My reply to you is that if the pain gets bad enough, you are not too young
for a replacement. Age has nothing to do with need!

Thanks everyone, for your two cents. I have been gathering more info
and some of it sounds plausible while some seems completely marketed.
There are many websites out there about and for Prolotherapy, but I
guess until I actually meet someone that used it there is no way to
tell for sure.

BTW- my knees are bad from playing goalie (hockey) for years and had
one bad tear of the medial meniscus (each knee) leaving nothing. After
a short period the cartilage in that area deteriorated to nothing.
I've had meniscus translplants and what is called carticel implantation
( a grow your own process.) Now I'm beginning to have pain in the
knees again, so I have been trying to look into as many options as
possible. I'm too young (36) for replacements, plus I'd like to keep
an active lifestyle (obviously without playing goalie anymore.)

If anyone out there has any other ideas or things to look into, I'd
gladly welcome your repsonses. Thanks.
