Hi All,
Most of my joints are worn out, some, I suspect, must be down to bone on bone by now, or does the pain get worst than excruciating(?), an acquaintance says I will develop scar tissue inside the joint and that may alleviate the pain a touch. My question is, when/does it work/why doesn't that wear out as well?

I can't have replacement joints due to osteoporosis, the last one I had was loose from the day it went in to the day it was pulled out a year later (just a space now!).

Not sure if this is all old wives tales, never get to talk to anybody in the know..... does anybody have any anecdotal evidence?

Cheers
Mark its not a grimace, its a grin, honest!!!

    i havent heard of that......but i would have thought scar tissue could/would cause pain. i have scar tissue in a part of my body and surgeion said oh it shouldnt cause a problem because of where it is ie. not near anything..........scar tissue and joints sounds bit iffy??
