Knee replacements One common cause of knee pain slowly creeps up on us morning stiffness that progresses to a deep ache by evening. Often there is crunching or grinding along with the pain. Joint pain hits us all, in various joints, from wear and tear over time. Think of balding tires. As we experience the pain, stiffness and decreasing motion of osteoarthritis, various treatments can help: NSAIDs, braces, nutritional supplements, activity modification, exercises, cortisone or other injections and physical therapy. All of those treatments are essentially “fix-a-flats" for your worn-out knee, designed to prolong the life of the knee before the “tire" needs replacing. At some point, the knee is just too worn out and needs replacing. Knee replacements originally started out for pain relief, but have evolved into highly functional devices that try replicating a normal knee. . Knee replacement surgery is very common and successful nationwide. I underwent such a surgery last year and was back working in less than a month. Results vary with age, health, activity level and motivation, I’m extremely satisfied with my knee, and how I regained MY Life in Motion. To schedule an appointment Of"t»OHUt 4DUU.

Indiana hospitals rally to stop sepsis INDIANAPOLIS - September is National Sepsis Awareness Month, and the Indiana Hospital Association (IHA) is spreading the word about the potentially deadly response to an infection. Sepsis claims more than 258,000 lives in the United States each year, according to Sepsis Alliance. Sepsis is the body's overwhelming and potentially life-threatening response to an infection. It can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and even death. Sepsis can occur even after a minor infection. Approximately 3,500 Hoosiers die from sepsis each year, according to the 2015 IHA Inpatient Discharge Study. IHA is partnering with hospitals across the state to create reliable systems of care to prevent the risk of sepsis. On World Sepsis Day, Sept. 13, IHA and its partners will Rally Against Sepsis to encourage Hoosiers to join in this fight. Governor Pence has also declared this day Sepsis Awareness Day in Indiana. "Sepsis is a public health issue and not just a hospital problem," said Doug Leonard, president of the Indiana Hospital Association. "We want hospital staff, patients and the community to better understand what it is and what to do if they suspect sepsis." IHA says hospital staff, patients and the community should know the warning signs of sepsis, which include: • Shivering, fever, very cold • Extreme pain • Pale or discolored skin • Sleepy, difficult to wake up, confused • I feel like I might die • Shortness of breath For more information about sepsis, be sure to follow #SurviveSepsis on social media throughout the month.
