“Bone on bone.” Two words, a referral, and 14 months on a waitlist for a new knee. So what do you do for 14 months? Rest it and watch it get worse? Resting is the problem. The muscle above the knee shuts off, blood stops reaching the joint, and the stiffness you wake up with gets longer every month. 15 minutes a day while you wait. Warm the joint, fire the muscle, move the blood. On the couch, during the news.
Not enough history yet to show a trend.
