My x-ray shows bone spurs and loose bodies- Do I need surgery?

[@AxelSituation]

Dear sir, you are in the top 1% of all doctors as you are not repeating the same mumbo jumbo that the other doctors repeat to patients. You describe the actual problem with precision and helpful insight. I have had x-rays on painful knees and actually have great spacing between knee bones (excellent cartilage) but still bone spurs persist. The doctors could not explain sufficiently why. You have done a remarkable in this video. It always helps to hear it from an expert! Very deep thank you!!!

[@dspedersen66]

I suffered through severe back and hip pain for 4 years to the point it hurt to move or do anything. I saw literally dozens of doctors and went through various procedures and treatments but NONE of them gave any respite from the pain. When I first heard of prolotherapy and Dr Hauser, I thought it was unusual and I thought he was a little eccentric, but I flew from Utah to Chicago to see him anyway. The difference in the results from other doctors was like night and day. I noticed a significant difference is immediately and my recovery was nearly complete within a couple of months. Over 7 years later, I am still in great shape, running, cycling, playing basketball and doing very physical work with no pain. I can't say enough good or give a high enough recommendation.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi dspedersen66, Thank you for sharing your story with Prolotherapy. We are so happy that you are able to stay so active and enjoying life without pain! We wish you all the best. Have a great day!

Thank you Sir that was very informative and helpful. I have lose body cartilage in my left knee & a torn meniscus in my right knee. Basically what I gather from this session was if you can manage it , don’t conduct Surgery. So for I have managed both injuries quite well, I was considering Surgery before but after watching this video I’m sure I won’t have surgery 🙏.

I was told on my followup for my lumbar xray last week that they have never seen such a bad back at my age(32). I have bad bone spurs at the L5-S1 region, bad enough that they cant guarantee ill be able to walk in a few years. Have had back problems since i was 10 years old due to fracturing my "butt bone" at school. I did physiotherapy 2 years ago and they also said it wouldnt change much because the damage is done and too severe. My doctor spoke about surgery but even he is a bit skeptic with the risks involved so i decided maybe its best to just wait and see and do what i can in the meantime.

[@soniamoraleschemistry]

I have mild subacromial spurring in both shoulders. I wonder how long recovery is after doing guided ultrasound with needle unless there is better therapy for this condition. Have had this for close to 5 years and took that long to get a good xray done. I only knew what I had because a doctor in Mexico gave me my diagnosis but all doctors in US told me I was fine. Did not continue treatment in Mexico because of the hassle of having to go there but still waiting to see if I ever get treated for this condition. Worst thing to have in shoulders.

@@thrust_fpv exactly my situation - what I did was a couple years ago I had arthroscopic surgery and the surgeon removed about 20 loose bodies, but he couldn’t get them all. He left five behind and those occasionally now give me trouble if I jump or I do plyometrics - even squats I gotta be careful too, and it’s such an annoying thing. It catches you offguard and it’s horrible so you have two options you can either have them surgically removed arthroscopic or just modify your movements to avoid actions that trigger them Oh, and I just thought the only other thing that I have done that may have helped my situation - I had a few shockwave therapy treatments to the knee area at a local physical therapy center and I have to say I’m not sure if there’s any correlation but I seem to be doing better, just throwing it out there

Hi Babu Raj, Thank you for your question. We do not advise medication for bone spurs because having bone spurs is not indicative of a medication deficiency. In our clinics, the goal is to actually resolve the reason for pain and bone spur development and help patients get off medications. What we do is regenerative injection treatments (Prolotherapy) for these degenerative conditions. One of the primary areas we specialize in treating is the neck.

As much as we would love to give you a clear and cut answer, we cannot without first seeing you in our office for testing to get a proper diagnosis.

Great video new subscriber! I have a spur on the outside of my elbow where tennis elbow would usually occur.

Do you think if I continued lifting weights and worked with movements to avoid pain it could fix itself? I'm currently in Afghanistan and would hate to be down due to surgery

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Nick, Thanks for reaching out. Sorry about the bone spur. The overgrowth of bone is indicative of joint instability. It is one way the body basically tries to stabilize or fuse bones so they stop moving excessively during the demands that they're put under. Thus, putting more stress on the unstable joint isn't recommended as it continues the joint instability cycle until the joint is in a healing mode. Bone spurs are not a muscle problem- they are the body's way of trying to stabilize a joint that is unstable due to ligament laxity. The ligaments are what hold our bones together. Muscles are only supposed to move the joint but they need to contract against a stable base. When they don't, that indicates there is ligament laxity/joint instability. This is where regenerative treatments come in versus surgery. We understand it is not possible for everyone to travel to come see us. Perhaps you'd be able to find a regional practitioner who could help your elbow. Hope that explanation helps clarify why bone spurs form and that they are not linked to the muscles. The link is with the ligaments. Wish you all the best in health. Take good care.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Jack, Hope you get back to where you want to be asap and that your prolotherapist is able to address what they think the outcome will be for your shoulder. Usually the bone spur is there because the body was growing it to try and stabilize the joint and they stay unless removed. In most of the cases we see, the person's pain can be resolved without needing to have a bone spur removed and that's where the prolotherapist would need to assess your overall motion, etc. to see what they think. Wish you all the best in healing!

[@stacyeskins7380]

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I understand that you're saying the pain could be resolved w/o having the bone spur removed surgically, but in the video, you mentioned that over time, once the joint is stabilized (via prolotherapy), that the body could reabsorb the bone spur since the joint doesn't have the friction anymore. So are you now saying the body won't absorb the bone spur ever, and surgery would eventually be needed to remove them? I'd love to hear more about the success rate for any patients of yours where their bone spurs were reabsorbed.

I have a Tricep Tendon Enthesophyte will it go away ?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi @johngutierrez8405 , the enthesis is the point at which the connective tissue structures, such as a joint capsule, fascia, ligament, tendon, or muscle attach to the bone. The term enthesopathy typically refers to a degenerated enthesis. It is unlikely that it just goes away forever. Think of your ligaments like a rubber band. During normal use, ligaments gradually stretch when under tension, then return to their original length when the force is released. However, when they stretch too far or too long, they do not return to their original shape and remain stretched-out or loose - this is where Prolotherapy can be a great treatment option as it promotes the growth of normal cells and tissues. Hope this helps! If you need assistance in the future, our office is accepting new patients and you can contact us directly.

Unfortunately, I have several large bone spurs in my ankle. How effective is the needle spur ectomy, especially with the ankle joint?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Daimion, Thank you for your question and sorry to hear about your large bone spurs. In our experience, the bone spurs may be a surgical case, or sometimes a needle spurectomy, but more importantly we find that the REASON for the bone spur development needs to be addressed in order to make an impact against the accelerated degeneration. Bone spurs form as the body's way of trying to stabilize an unstable joint. Thus, just shaving bone spurs does not get to the root of the problem. The joint continues to degenerate. Thus, strengthening the stabilizers which have a lot of nerve endings (ligaments) of the joint is the primary goal and bone spur removal would be only as needed in a case-by-case basis. Hope that helps. If you would like us to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics, we would love to see if we can help you avoid a surgery and get out of pain and back to full function.

Should I keep doing that each time the cartilage loosens up again which happens very rarely or do I keep it in my joint and let it smash up on its own?

It would be smart to get an exam. Let's first ask the question, how does this occur? Most likely the person experienced the gradual deterioration of cartilage from poor tracking of the patella on the femur, and eventually, some of the cartilage particles became loose and went into the joint. The thing with instability is that it is degenerative, it happens overtime and the longer you go without gaining stability, the worse it will get until surgery would be the only option. We would love to get you in for an exam and consult - please reach out to us directly and someone from our clinical team (they are wonderful) can learn more about your case.

Fantastic video/content once again. I did not realize you could have prolo therapy for such conditions. By God's grace money will become available and I can send my partner there or to another practice here in the UK. My partner is in so much pain. He got the results from another MRI the other week. He has bone spurs, a bulged disc, disc degeneration spondylosis, and a 20% curve on his spine. At his t3/t4 They said it would be super risky if they operated due to the existing damage. 'I have just started the process of castor oil and taking apple cider vinegar, let alone other herbal supplements, to help reduce the inflammation and God willing break down the bone spurs.

Jilly, we are so sorry to hear about your partner. We are praying that you are able to help him find relief but it is absolutely wonderful that you are looking into alternative treatment options. If you find that you are able to travel from the UK we would love to learn more about his case.
