Pink,

Good to see you getting after solutions so you can get back on your bike!

I have a friend who had rsd all down his right arm and he went on to be a full time successful, professional massage therapist.

alls i no its everyfin else thats around the bone in the knee ..... and was very suprised i didnt break it...

im guna bug the hell out of the consultants and the DR that i do no... lol

Have your doctors suggested replacement surgery? Partial or full? There are about 4 or 5 different types and degrees of replacement. Hard to give advice without knowing the details of your knee condition. Good luck.

hiya and thanx for ya thoughts...
so hows u??
