If you've been suffering from osteoarthritis, then I probably don't need to tell you that it's terrible, and the fact that we need a new treatment every handful of months just to keep the pain away a little longer, doesn't help.

So what if there was a long-term solution? A single injection that helps to reduce or eliminate pain and stiffness for years, instead of months? Well, the experts from MSK Doctors say that it's here already, you can check out the facts, straight from the source, at the link I left in the podcast description.

Here's the short version, in a single sentence - Imagine a treatment like hyaluronic acid, a single injection that helps to eliminate the pain, but instead of wearing off after a few weeks or months, it just keeps on working.

That's Arthrosamid.

Since you probably want to know more about it than that before seeing a doctor... let's dive right into it.

What Is Arthrosamid & Why Haven't You Heard Of It Before?

If you haven't heard of it, it's because the treatment is still new, but that doesn't mean it's not effective or that it hasn't been thoroughly tested. In fact, it's been in clinical testing for more than 20 years already - and they still haven't found any major problems.

Let's back up a bit though, and explain what Arthrosamid is and how it works, in a bit more detail.

Knee injections have been a common treatment for knee pain and stiffness for decades, but as you probably know, most of these treatments are known to offer only limited and short-term benefits, usually lasting up to 6 months at best. Arthrosamid uses a similar strategy to prevent pain and stiffness, but with a unique compound that can resist biodegradation in your body, allowing it to stay effective significantly longer.

Like, years longer. We don't actually know how long Arthrosamid can last and stay effective, because none of the clinical trials have been long enough to reach the end of its pain relief yet!

Let's Talk Clinical Trials, What Does The Evidence Say?

The treatment was still working though.

Folks treated with Arthrosamid continued to report reductions in pain, stiffness, and other symptoms throughout the trial, suggesting that Arthrosamid may be the first treatment to provide long-term, sustainable relief.

To achieve this, as the guide from MSK Doctors explains it, Arthrosamid uses a traditional knee injection strategy similar to common options such as hyaluronic acid, however the injection contains a “non-degradable and non-resorbable hydrogel composed of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% non-pyrogenic water.” This hydrogel helps to prevent friction, cushions the joint, and may potentially aid in the regeneration of damaged tissue.

If that was a little too technical, you can think of it this way - the old style treatments always used compounds that we knew would be absorbed by the body. This treatment doesn't - so it's no surprise that instead of being absorbed after a few weeks or months, the cushion is still there, in your knee, doing its job.

If you think that Arthrosamid is the treatment that you've been waiting for, I recommend one simple step. Just talk to an expert about it.

Professor Paul Lee, the founder of MSK Doctors in London, was one of the first clinicians approved to provide Arthrosamid to the public, and is still one of the most experienced. Conveniently, he's also quite easy to book with, and the rest of the experts at MSK Doctors are catching up fast.

Here's the part that makes it really easy though. The MSK Doctors clinic accepts new clients for consultation, diagnosis, or treatment, with no GP referral required, and no waiting list. You can schedule your own appointments with a specialist of your choosing, from the MSK Doctors website. It's that simple.

A blurb I copied from the full Arthrosamid guide explains, “Clinical studies and real-world patient stories corroborate Arthrosamids efficacy, safety, and long-term benefits. Comparative studies have also highlighted its superior performance against traditional treatments like hyaluronic acid.”

It's simply a better option, for longer-lasting relief. Ask an expert about It.

At Conexwest, good things really do come in small packages! The nationwide shipping container fabricators are now renting smaller 10-feet containers across the US.

Conexwest is now bringing you a smaller and more convenient shipping and storage solution with their new 10-feet containers. You can opt for both high-quality refurbished containers and brand-new containers that have never been rented before.

While most standard shipping containers range from 20 to 40-feet in size, the Conexwest team appreciates that sometimes smaller sizes are needed; especially if you have limited on-site storage space, or you are looking to save money on shipping costs.

That’s why they are pleased to now be offering their 10-feet sized containers across the US, which are fabricated in the same high-quality, durable and weatherproof Corten steel they use for their larger ISOs.

Like their larger shipping containers, their new 10-feet size containers come with several great features as standard, like: marine-grade plywood floors, reinforced steel doors, a professional exterior paint job, side pockets for forklifts and corner castings for stacking.

Plus, despite their compact size, Conexwest’s 10-feet shipping containers still offer you around 560 cubic feet of storage.

As Conexwest both fabricates new containers and refurbishes used ones in-house at their centers across the United States, they can also customize your 10-feet ISO for you.

Available add-ons include extra insulation, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, shelving and partitions, and more.

The best news is, their new 10-feet shipping containers are also available under the same flexible and affordable rentals that the shipping container fabricators have become known for. Conexwest can also offer you quick delivery, within 1-3 business days, and can typically turn around custom fabrications within the same 1-3 day window.

At the end of their rental, you will simply need to get in contact with your Conexwest representative, who will organize an on-site pickup of your container.

As their spokesperson said, “We believe in quick and convenient delivery. No waiting around—get your container delivered within 1-3 days, right to your location, hassle-free. We handle the logistics, so all you need to do is enjoy the convenience.”
