Why did patients apply to this trial?

I've had a knee replacement on the right knee and they say I need it on the left knee however I still receive pain in both knees still and I'm still falling occasionally they said I'm bone on bone in both.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have a lot of pain in both knees - have been diagnosed with moderate-to-severe arthritis, have tried cortisone & synvisc & suparts, to no avail. Meloxicam is useless. You actually have my x-rays on file at Rothman. I live in NW Philly, and am otherwise in great health. All of these factors motivated me to contact you to express my interest in joining your trial. Thank you.
