I know I'm a pharmacist and totally all "Western medicine" but the truth it, your body is great at adaptation and healing. I mean, shoot, you can live with a dying liver for decades and decades and just keep trying to regenerate it - and even though cartilage is a totally different story, I'd try the prolotherapy and go heavy on the glucosamine and see what happens (maybe even take chondroitin even though I don't think it can be absorbed orally; maybe if your body just obtains a little bit it will help). <br />Thank you for the reminder to let our bodies heal. You know I needed to hear that.

And I feel so selfish in appreciating you for articulating it for those of us who need to learn that lesson about healing and recovery and respecting/celebrating our bodies and what they can do for us. You're the one coming to grips with a crappy situation and other people stand to benefit from the lessons you're learning through the tough stuff...
