alternative treatments

[Guest guest]

My wife posted a few weeks ago when I cancelled a surgery scheduled for

BTKR.Part of the reason was threat of MRSA bacteria locally, but also I

wasn't sure I had all the facts to know I was making the right choice.

I've waited a long while for technological advances. Last year I

learned about a treatment known as ACI being done overseas, but not

only would my surgeon not give me the expected pat answer about

experimental procedures and risks of going overseas etc. etc. but he

talked like the technique was totally bogus.which didn't instill great

confidence in me since I have an e mail dialogue for over a years time

with a patient in singapore who had the procedure.with further research

I've discovered that actual photos and followup studies are available

of the technique being done at brigham and womens hospital at Harvard

since 1995. It appears the technique shows great priomise but from the

best I can tell is not of use for ostioartharitis.

Is there anyone out there who has knowledge of this treatment? or

how about the treatment available in India called RFQMR that is being

used speciffically on OA? aparently results here look very promising.

I'd still like to rule out these possibilities before I schedule my

trip to Red Bluff.
