"Stanford scientists regrow lost cartilage and reverse arthritis in major breakthrough

Scientists may have found a way to regrow aging cartilage and stop arthritis before it starts, potentially making joint replacements far less common.

A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them."

5:45AM: 51F, overcast.

A small chance of rain today, then partly sunny for the weekend.

Since I have Friday off, it's time for my annual trip up Harbor Mountain.

This year with a knee brace. I'm trying to put off a knee replacement until next year, but it's touch & go. Sigh. Not looking forward to my 5th joint replacement.

Arthritis sucks donkey balls.

Carless again today.
Could have done with it to get back from the garage in this rain.
Taxi firm didn't answer for nearly half an hour.

I've had three extremely useful conversations with two different pharmacists today.

The Omeprazole I was prescribed after my last gastroscopy is causing severe pains in my arthritic fingers (despite the hospital consultant saying it wouldn't). Pharmacist has confirmed it's a rare, but documented, side effect of •all• PPIs.

The pharmacist at the GP surgery has arranged for me to get an 8 week prescription of Famotdine instead, and to review it when I'm back from holiday.
