Hello, I Am A 60 Yr Old Male, With Arthritis

Hello, I am a 60 yr old male, with arthritis in both of my feet. I have lost the cartilage in one of the joints just below the ankles where the foot flexes, I have been dealing with constant pain for several years. The doctors/surgeons I have seen recommend fusing my feet. I am type 2 diabetic and I am looking for alternate suggestions to possibly regrow the cartilage in my feet. I have been taking supplements glucosamine chondroitin all types of supplements to try and help the pain, but they have not helped. I have heard of procedures where they drill between the bones and inject plasma in order to regrow cartilage. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or are familiar with this procedure. Thank you very much. We have been paying $29.00 by a month thru auto payments for over a year, this is our 1st time using your service.
