I felt amazing after the treatment! - J.D., 45
J.D.
New York
Retired 65 year old, been active all my life, in a gym, played squash most of my 30’s, amateur SCUBA diver for 40 years and whilst initially in a manual job, behind a desk for the last 35-40 yrs. Not overweight.
Problems before I had Athrosamid
1. Standing still for any time beyond a couple of minutes really hurt! You never realise how often you stand still…. If I had to stand still, e.g. in a queue, I would bounce from 1 leg to the other, or swing the offending leg. You had to identify times when you would be standing, and consider your options.
2. Whilst walking was always good, how level the surface was would be key. Any element of it not being horizontal created swelling/pain, both at the time and afterwards.
3. Kneeling - forget it!
4. Squats (I used to do 30 a day) forget it! The noises were enough left alone the following 10 hrs.
5. Cycling forget it!
6. Keeping the knee in one position was no good for more than approx 30 mins. So it would:
Wake you up several times at night. Then it was 5 -10 mins moving it about, then you had to get back to sleep!
Concerts, cinema, in a car, even at home etc you needed to be in very spacious seats or the end of a row to move your leg about.
A part from walking there was a balance of doing some of my previous exercises, and taking paracetamol & Ibuprofen for pain / swelling control.
With regard to the immediate post treatment effect (early morning injections), that night we had booked to see a band and were walking in the afternoon. We decided to stick with the plan. The walking was not a problem, neither was the boogie in front of our seats that night, I did not suffer the following day for it. I have not taken any pain / swelling medication for my knees since the day before the injections.
Over the next 6-8 weeks, following the exercise plan, things steadily improved. 4-6 months on my activity is back to what it used to be. The former knee degradation, does not stop me from doing anything. I don’t have any pain or twinges from the knee, the only time I take any precautions is when I am on a hard surface on my knees, I put something soft down, I’d rather cushion them, than develop a problem. Kneeling however on a hard surface, without any cushioning does not give me any pain. Hauling dive boats & equipment about and diving does not give me a problem.
Needless to say I would throughly recommend Arthomasid injections!
