Osteo-arthritis

My mother has been suffering from what a doctor diagnosed as osteo-arthritis in her knee. She says it's so painful and she has difficulty in bending her knee.

Of course, she is put on medication but a friend recommended her a kind of drink that costs almost MYR9 per sachet that is said to be good for joints. I also loan her my scalar energy pendant. So far, I do notice an improvement just by observing her walk.

My mother is already drinking her second box of joint pain relief drink. Aih… I dare not count her remaining sachets because I would then have to get another box for her otherwise she makes me feel guilty saying that her friends who are also suffering from the same joint problems are consulting specialists while she is not.

SIGH!!!! Why these alternative remedies so expensive one???

My mum suffered from this as well and she had a knee-replacement surgery done. That would be the last resort if all other remedies fail, ya!

We have a family friend who also was advised by his doctor to get surgery. He went for a second opinion though.

This time, the doctor asked him to wear a knee brace that costs him more than RM2000 because it's imported from the US.

But this 2nd doctor said also that surgery will be his last resort.
