Patients are offered pain relief and, eventually if necessary, joint replacement. Stanford orthopedic surgery researchers now report in the journal Science a breakthrough that leads to cartilage regeneration. They find that blocking an protein called 15-PGDH, short for 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase, that increases with aging, permits cartilage regrowth in older mice and in those with knee injuries. The blocking drug also triggers cartilage regeneration in mice and in human knee cartilage samples obtained from patients undergoing knee replacement surgery. An oral version of this 15-PGDH blocking drug is now available for clinical trials. Hopefully, this agent may reduce the need for joint replacements…..someday soon, https://scitechdaily.com/anti-aging-injection-regrows-knee-cartilage-and-prevents-arthritis/ https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx6649 #cartilage #joints #pain #jointreplacement".
Knobbly thumb joint got more obvious last night. Distinctly stiffer than the other thumb and a bit painful too. They weren’t painful before (the other knobble is my middle finger, both left hand). The other one is worse than I remember too.
At least it doesn’t affect typing. I couldn’t think which fingers I use to type and now I see it’s the middle of each hand, at least on the iPad. Don’t need to bend my fingers to type 🤷🏻♀️
And by nice I mean, no sore, no overthinking and I can concentrate

The Power of Active Recovery 🙆♂️
Active recovery isn’t a filler day or a “day off you still feel guilty about.” It’s a strategic part of the growth process.
1️⃣ Active Recovery Boosts Blood Flow (Your Built-In Repair System)
2️⃣ It Reduces Stiffness Without Adding More Fatigue
3️⃣ It Keeps Your Metabolism and Muscle Activation Awake
4️⃣ It Helps Manage Stress and Lowers Cortisol
