Clint Eastwood.... in 'Tightrope'...

Hi 'Slave' hope this explains the 'Rooster Booster' The anti- inflammatory should help with your nightime pain as well.. I did start out having the Cortison injections untill they were no longer effective, cannot take any of the anti-inflammatories as I have acid reflux disease... Also known as: Gel Injections/ Rooster Comb injections/Intra-Articular Injections/Hyaluronan injections/Joint-Fluid Therapy Hyaluronan is the name of the medication found in gel injections, and it is made from chicken combs (hence the name rooster comb injections). It is injected into the knee joint to help temporarily relieve symptoms of arthritis knee pain. It is thought that hyaluronan, a gel like substance, works by mimicking synovial fluid found in the joint; therefore, lubricating the joint allowing for pain relief. These injections are supposed to act like WD-40 for your knee joint.

Just watched it on you-tube... was rather Breezy...LOL

Squally showers and windy... My Neighbour has lost her fence, Wheelie Bins blown over everywhere...

Hi 'The_Minxter' Key hole surgery to flush out any debris such as loose Cartilage, at the same time they sometimes smooth out the inside of the Kneecap as well... Not always a success but has worked for me..

Hi 'Slave' how is it going with those spurs, any idea of what they are going to do for you? Do you have Treatment for your Knees? The 'Rooster Booster' Injections are quite good, I have them every 6 months, along with Knee Washes every 18-24 months...

Still worth getting up for...

Glad to hear the Cold is a little better 'Minxter'...

Thanks 'Strider' We already have, just as well we live in a sturdy Victorian house, not a flimsy new build... And the near by trees have been cut back quite recently... We live on a hill so no fear of flooding, but there has been quite a lot of damage up and down the Country.. The worst of it seems to be over now... These are just a few pictures from around the Country... http://www.bbc.co.uk...ctures-16391740
