Interesting. My mom is having surgery on her knee, I am going to suggest zinc.

I love some Zinc. I actually use it to dry me out a little.

god bless her.  It's not a easy decision.  I blame the doctors.  You don't know who to trust.  Patients have became just a number and paying the light bill or BMW bills for doctors,

The zinuc cream I've seen it work on wound care.  Wounds that have not healed for months.  Healed in few weeks, it drys and treats the wound.

It was not her doc. He is great. He called me and spoke to me for 20 minutes saying that it would be best for her the sooner she got the knee replaced sooner than later for her recovery and quality of life. I feel he wans the best for my mom, believe me I am a skeptic when it comes to docs. But he is a good one. She is stubborn and has a very low tolerance for pain. Also she worries about my dad who is incapable of even making a sandwich on his own as he has never done it. I stayed with them for a week after her first surgery. Had to force her to use the knee bender machine. She was on hydrocodone and still complained of pain. I love my mom but she is a sissy when it comes to that.

GF, i wish. My folks are of the generation that if someone tells you something it is true. They believe the news, doctors, the government, Faucci ect. They are locked in with their confirmation bias.

When covid was going on, my mom called weeping and begged me to get the vaccination because she thought I had a 90% chance of death without it. Instead my sister and her fam all have had covid 3 times and my bro in law was in the hospital for 2 months with long covid and then had to have heart surgery. Me and my fam all had it, mild cold. I was cutting trees and hauling them to the dump 2 days after I was tested positive. Even went kayak fishing with covid. It was so insignificant.

Anyway, they are hard headed and ideologically locked.

Oh yeah, she fell and tore her rotator cuff. Luckily minor tear but she is basically a 1 legged 1 armed old human right now.
