BONE ON BONE Ouch…

Tens of millions of Americans (more than 50 million at last count) have experienced something like this scenario, and maybe you’re one of them…
You go to see the doctor because you have a stiff, painful joint that just won’t quit—and he says the exact words you don’t want to hear.
He tells you that your poor joint is now BONE ON BONE.
Here’s what that means…
In a healthy joint—a knee, elbow, hip, shoulder or any other spot where two bones meet—the ends of the bones are covered by cartilage. This smooth, white “connective tissue”—a kind of cross between soft muscle and hard bone—literally cushions every joint, making effortless movement possible.
But time isn’t kind to our joints. As the years pass, cartilage can erode. Cell by cell, it just wears away. Until there’s so little left that the two bones constantly bump into each other. Ouch! Nagging pain replaces pain-free living. Stiffness replaces flexibility.
And those achy joints often have a strange soundtrack—the creepy “bone music” doctors call crepitus. These grating, grinding, crunchy, creaky sounds are produced when–you guessed it–one bone rubs against another.
Now, maybe you’re feeling pretty hopeless about this “bone on bone” situation.
If there’s no cartilage left, what chance do you have of relieving pain and stiffness? Not to mention being able to do the things you love, like going for a pain-free walk or happily playing with your rambunctious grandchildren.
