Cecily, my Mom had the knee replacement last fall at a truthfully spry 80. Her knee canted sideways - it was horrible to look at before. Straight as an arrow now and she was doing everything by Christmas better than she did before. We're delighted you're riding, but don't be afraid of the kne

Cecily, I've had the same injections and they work rather well. I still need a knee replacement though, because the cartilage on my femur is worn out. I was told by my knee specialist that they are sooo close to being able to grow new cartilage, that I should try to hold out. I have a worn out
