Can Procaine Be Taken For Severe Arthritis Pain In The Right Foot?

will procaine help severe arthritis pain? Bones in my right foot and on my 6 of my fingers have been fused do to severe pain. I was told that the bones in my right foot also have to be fused to eliminate extreme pain. I am also looking at knee replacement due to arthritis. Terrible pain 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Will procaine therapy be helpful? Plasma injections or stem cell injections? Please help. Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

For osteoarthritis of your knee.


VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years.

Newer modalities for cartilage injury include autologous chondrocyte implantation[ ACI] which helps in treatment of cartilage destruction.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
