Arthrosamid
Hi guys
I had Arthrosamid injected into me right knee last Tuesday and am interested to hear peoples experiences week 2 and 3 of what to expect? I have AO and bone on bone on the outside of knee plus a bulging meniscus and arthritic bone spur. Use to be majorly active, netball couple times a week, 8 classes at the gym and then sadly I tore my cartilage 13yrs ago and had micro fracture surgery as I had a big divot out. Never been amazing since then and told no more high impact stuff, have slowly started to put on more and more weight (extra difficult when menopause kicked in to lose!)
Was recommended to try Arthrosamid as I’m 56yrs old, and consultant said I too young for replacement just yet as only lasts 10-15yrs (which I didn’t want replacement anyway😳)
Week 1 done, no major swelling but lots of stiffness and tightness above knee. When do people start the physio sessions that are recommended on the website?

Good morning @CazLewis and welcome to the online community. I see you have been advised to try Arthrosamid by your consultant for your osteoarthritis (OA).
Do please have a read of this thread lots of contributors who have also tried arthrosamid.
The thread is pretty current so hopefully some of those who have tried it may be able to help you.
Best wishes
Ellen.

Hi @JillyMum23 welcome to the online community.
There are many many threads on the subject of arthrosamid
People's responses to it seem varied. It's expensive so if you have time perhaps a good read of them might be an idea?
Wishing you and your Mum the very best.
Ellen.

Hi @JillyMum23
I am sure I remember someone saying something about it not being as good for older people. I've found it it's in this thread and the poster is @Goodwalker
But there are loads of threads as posted by Ellen. you'll probably feel even more confused after you've read them.
best of luck
