Shooting with pain

Flu shots are a waste of time. They never get the strain correct. Impossible to predict

I am 8 weeks post op knee surgery.. The doc opened me up, cut out a piece of bone from the end of my femur that somehow the cartilage was gone.  Then he took a cadaver knee and cut out an exact match size, that had cartilage on the end. Took the piece with cartilage and press fit it into my knee. Result was now no missing cartilage. Hurt like hell. Sat in bed literally 4-5 weeks. Got a bed sore, many aches and pains from not moving. Gained a bit of spare tire around my mid section. But.. My knee should be good for long term now. Worst part I was just starting to get around and feel not bad when I,threw my f'in back out!! Did go to the archery range one night and shot 3 into a target. I'm not ready for bow season.

lots happening with grafts. Zimmer is marketing a product called denovo nt, for grafting onto missing cartilage. Another product denovo et, now Renamed to,something I forget is even better.  It's in phase three clinical trials and a new phase four should start In a year or two. I couldn't wait that long. 

It's old school for,your doc to say.. You are too young for total knee replacement. Live with pain for 20 years. If your doc,is telling you that.. Find a different one. Lot of options. 

Im sticking with my Xbow. Maybe next year or late this year with compound. Good,luck all

Bummer Dan. Try taking Beef gelatin powder (Great Lakes do a good one). It is chock full of amino acids, which the body uses to make proteins for repair and healing. Fulvic Acid too is good.
