I need a knee replacement, but the Dr's say I'm not 60 they say I'm to young for a knee replacement ( as knee replacement parts have a minimal part which in my case will only last 10 years ), My knee is bone on bone. so they are holding off. I'm just wondering some one has made a lotion or a potion or what ever that will help me with my knee's. As my life is on hold I can't walk distances, dance or even kick a ball with my grandchildren. I on fosamax,celebrex, panadol, nuroforn, fishoil ,glucosamine and osteroEzeThank you

You are on Fosamax for Osteoporosis and you are waiting for a knee replacement, as you have no cartilage left. I am surprised the Doc has not started you on the Fentanyl Patches for the pain. I have Friends with Rheumatoid Arthritis that have had knees and hips replaced at 50 and some younger. Therefore I can but assume some cartilage is left and you are not bone on bone. The problem could be your bone density, if you are loosing it how do you expect them to replace the knee?

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.

If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.

Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.

And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.

I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.

It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.

Today, I want to do the same for you!

For your athritic pain you can use painkillers. May be a local cream like Diclofenac sodium jel. But you have to realize that athritis cannot be cured, but symptoms can be relieved. There for you may restrict the movement of the affected joints. Otherwise you can lead a normal life.
