I have a partial knee replacement already scheduled and I'm very concerned and will talk to my surgeon about this warning. I'm totally bone on bone and it is wearing the bones from trying to walk.
I've been having terrible sciatica in the past and although less symtomatic with advise from others on this list I have found out what is causing the problem. It isn't the hip as I thought. I have a bulging disc in my lower back and it is encroaching on the nerve coming out that side. My whole spine is arthritic according to the MRI and several places are more narrow than they should be. Instead of looking like a round tube it looks more like a thread. They basically told me as it continues to get worse I will probably loose the ability to lift my toe when walking. I already have some numbness and cold feeling down that leg. I'm wondering if an inversion machine would help? This wasn't a very good day for my husband either as he had a check up at the VA and it wasn't good. He's been having indigestion and that is all he thought it was but the VA said he has already had a heart attack. They couldn't pin point when but not recent. They want him to see a heart specialist but they are so backed up they said if he can possibly go private to do so. He has good insurance so we went by original primary and he is going to schedule him with a cardiologist. He also said not to let him do anything physical until he sees the specialist. So glad our son is here right now to take care of the farm. Prayers are appreciated.

In fact, Trasylol, made by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, has been associated with as many as 1,000 DEATHS A MONTH since it was introduced 14 years ago. Apparently the FDA has known about the danger associated with Trasylol for two years — yes, that’s two years at 1,000 deaths a month — but only now is doing something about it. And, despite the research showing it kills people, they are still allowing some “limited” use of Trasylol. (Don’t you wish you were surprised?) The worst part is that the patient is never consulted about using it. It's not like a prescription that you can choose to fill or not. It's the doctor who chooses which drugs to use during surgery. So if you or a loved one is undergoing surgery, tell your doctor you don't want them using Trasylol and ask what the other options are. Your life may depend on it. To Your Good Health, Jenny Thompson P.S. If you know anyone who may be planning surgery, please be sure they get this urgent warning. __._,_.___ -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
