Just throwing this out to see if anyone has had this done, and to get your thoughts.

OK...it seems that this proceedure would be minimally invasive, but I'm not sure how it would affect my injury. I know that arthritis is causing my joint pain in my shoulder. And at times it gets pretty bad. I wonder if the arthritis could be removed arthroscopically ?? I also wonder if I would be setting myself up for more pain. What do you think?? Anyone had this done??? In any joint on your body???

Here's a site for you George; http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/brochure/thr_ ... rthroscopy

...hope it works, if not, email me and I'll send you the whole article...I've never had this procedure, and I don't know anyone who has, but I'll ask around if that helps..!

Bye for now

Hi George....i got the crunching and grinding in the good shoulder a year or so back, thought it might be arthritis onset, since then i've been really careful to stop doing stuff if i feel a twinge and (touch wood) it's gone away, the horse riding has helped LOADS with all my long term issues, i think it must be the posture but i've also read on some knit yer own muesli love and peace type website that contact with horses is as beneficial as with dolphins for healing, and a lot more eco friendly (since moving here to NZ i've learned that keeping dolphins in captivity or swimming with wild ones is a very big no no) so forget the arthroscopy george get a horse :0) btw, i know that 2/3 adults over 50 get arthritis anyway, but i had read it was much more likely in people who have had any kind of joint surgery....so would the arthroscopy help arthritis?
