Was it you who mentioned something about having a wrist/scaphoid fusion on here one time ?
I seem to remember it was successful and got you back on track.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking at a scaphoid fusion myself and I'd even booked in to see a surgeon last year. I was also sold on the idea of TKR as I was getting to the stage where I couldn't bear weight on my dodgy knee.
Then I stumbled across an article about using borax for arthritis. I was really skeptical at first as it sounded too good to be true. I looked into it and I found out borax has an LD50 score lower than common table salt, so I thought it couldn't hurt try it.
After about 3 weeks I noticed my fingers no longer hurt and I've broken pretty well all of them at some stage, then my scaphoid problems eased and stopped causing me trouble and after about two months I started noticing a tangible improvement in my knee. I never got the scaphoid fusion as I just don't think I need it now and I'm back doing all the stuff my doctors said I'd never be able to do with my knee and it's pain free. All the ligaments are torn and a a few hamstring tendons are severed as well, so it's still unstable but pain free.
It also increases testosterone levels which was in itself enough for me to take it. I'm approaching the big 50 so any natural boost there is more than welcome.
I'm not suggesting it will do the same for
@somanaut 's Father but it I'm certain it helped me.
I just dip a wet fingertip into the tub of borax and dissolve it my coffee 3 times a day.
