Two years ago this coming February I stayed at the hospital while my mother had a total knee replacement. Her other knee is very much in need of the same operation. My understanding is that this is one of the most painful recoveries from surgery that's around. I know my mom is putting this off as long as she can, but her life style is badly cramped by her very sore knee. She takes I don't know how many pain tablets a day just to make the problem somewhat bearable. The doctors keep wanting her to use tylenol to keep her liver and stomach from being damaged, but it just doesn't cut it.

Patients like my mother, if these injections actually work, will seek out the doctors who offer the injections. The key is "if these injections actually work". If they work, there's enough pain out there and complications from pain medications that will support the sales of the product. If the injections don't work, well, look out.

Personally I'm kind of surprised that results in countries outside of America haven't been better. People who need these injections in my opinion have every reason to seek them out.

Regards,
James
