Mri shows arthritis in 1st mpj. Not surprising since I sometimes feel pain even with orthothic in my shoe.
Anyone have prp or hualironic acid injections with relief?
I am 46 ur old active female.
Anyone do surgery?? Cartiva or chillectmy ?? Hoping I can slow the progression down first!
Hi Aberzerk,
Yes, I have had a Cheilectomy on August 2nd. I had an injury and ended up with post traumatic Arthritis. The surgery is pretty simple. Some pain is to be expected. I had a splint cast for 2 weeks and then just a shoe. The shots do not work... well, they didn't for me. The shots will just masks the pain. And if you are in an orthotic already then you may be a good candidate for the surgery.
Try the shots first. I believe you can have 2 a yr. I had one and it worked for about 1 hour.
Good luck!
