Sadly, it is impossible to "grow" cartilage, but they are working on creating a synthetic cartilage in the next 5-10 years.Terrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926625144781022309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593189488740921867.post-89160289679554708432010-07-23T22:53:06.681-04:002010-07-23T22:53:06.681-04:00This is going to sound nuts but I read somewhere r...This is going to sound nuts but I read somewhere recently that knee cartilage was found to regrow with good nutrition and weight loss, much to the surprise of docs. If I find that link I will send it to you.<br /><br />The Hospital for Special Surgery has a great reputation. I used to be a controller for a ortho rehab hospital.<br /><br />I think you are right to wait out surgery for a while longer to see what happens. :-)<br /><br />have a good weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593189488740921867.post-48160733360105745602010-07-22T21:27:26.647-04:002010-07-22T21:27:26.647-04:00Thanks - yes, as I lost wait my knees did feel les...Thanks - yes, as I lost wait my knees did feel less painful. But bone on bone is the same whether you are overweight or not.

Perhaps it is not the knees, maybe the back. <br /><br />Possibly Dr. Fuhrman's site will give you some hope. If you are a member you could ask Dr. Fuhrman himself.<br /><br />Wishing you to find relief,<br /><br />NainaNainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877999446935672147noreply@blogger.com
