I had a buckethandle flap tear and another. The flap could lock my knee when biking, but biking was better than full load bearing exercises.
i did therapy- wasnt healing. Did prolotherapy with Dr. Hauser and finally got it sorted/stabilized. At the same time found celiac
disease was behind my poor initial recovery and snow healing. In time, a dietary change and the massive amount of walking a lawn route supplied me with debrided the tears, while prolo fortified the osseo-ligamentous connections and stabilized the joint, alleviating the pain
My wife tore a meniscus as well, and prolotherapy helped resolve her’s.
celiac disease>leaky gut>incompletely digested proteins deposited in joints and other tissue>Immune response>arthritic pain.
