It still hurts and has increased my chance of getting lymphatic cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">While the long-term benefits of this surgery are generally good, and if you need it, you need it, my recommendation is\u2026 to not need it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Spare your joints. Stop when they hurt. Don\u2019t jog, bike instead. Don\u2019t lift super heavy weights, lift moderate weights for higher reps. Avoid any pounding activities. Learn to walk so that you don\u2019t land on your heel for each step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">When your knees or hips first start hurting, back off and take glucosamine and chondroitin, not Aleve or Ibuprofen. This is only masking what your body is begging you to do: stop and let it heal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">In fact, start taking glucosamine and chondroitin\u00a0now\u00a0as a preventative. Give your joints what they need to face the pounding they receive every day even doing normal activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">These surgeries are painful, expensive, disfiguring, and take long periods to heal from. My left knee will never look quite the same but I had no choice, I was bone-on bone on all of these three joints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So, take care of your joints. Know that once they start to wear out, they can go quickly. My hip went from \u201cnot bad\u201d to \u201cOMG, this hurts like hell\u201d in a matter of a few months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Always seek alternative treatments instead. Do EVERYTHING first to avoid these surgeries, and only use them as a final resort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">I wish I could go back in time and give myself this same advice\u2026 I\u2019d be so much better off if I could.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"uncategorized\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1755763828\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Prevent Bone Replacements\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Quora: What surgery should you always decline?
