...straight legs. Barely a trace of arthritis on X-ray and nothing except "minimal arthritic changes" on his MRI. He has taken Advil, Naprosyn, Voltaren, Celebrex with minimal help. Injections into his knees of hyaluronic acid (a component of joint fluid) and corticosteroids provided only a few weeks of relief. Physical therapy, braces, acupuncture, yoga all failed. He couldn't get out of chairs, couldn't climb stairs because of the pain. There was one thing left - a knee replacement - and it worked. But we hate to do these for patients so young (35) because we know that...
...hormones have a lot to do with pain in some people. Back and neck pain flare-ups in people under stress are commonplace. We have successfully treated many pain patients with anti-depressants. Back in the days of female hormone replacement therapy, samples of estrogen skin patches gave great relief of all sorts of joint pains suffered by certain peri-menopausal patients. Exercise, strangely enough, seems to have taken the place of the hormones we used to give - with nearly the same pain relief.

...single daughter, and because Japanese law allows only males to ascend to the Chrysanthemum Throne, Kiko's 7.5 lb. baby will almost certainly be the future Emperor of Japan. For the Japanese royal family and its core conservative supporters, the infant prince is cause for both joy and relief. His birth is a guarantee that the supposedly unbroken line of male succession to the throne will continue for at least another generation. But though the country is busy celebrating the royal arrival - newspapers passed out extra editions on the streets of Tokyo and economists predicted the birth would spark...
