What is used to replace cancerous bones to repair arthritis joints?

First, it's probably not a good idea to play the "sympathy card". A lot of people have arthritis, and we don't go around acting like people should treat us any differently. Leave the relationship the same way you would if you DIDN'T have arthritis. You'll need to find a way to support yourself or find someone who will take care of you. You may need to sign up for medicare or state disability, or you may need to find a job that would be suitable for your level of disability. I can understand that some arthritis is extremely crippling (had a cousin that was in a wheel chair because of it.) The first thing you do is contact a lawyer and see what your rights are to property, money in accounts or investments (this could differ from state-to-state.) I live in Canada and 1/2 of EVERYTHING goes to the wife seeking the divorce or the husband doing so. Either person in that house can buy-out their partner, but in most cases the house/property is sold and divided between the two. In Canada the wife has a right to her ex husband's 1/2 of Retirement, any accounts (even if it is in his name alone.) If a husband has a business of his own then 1/2 that is his wife's too. Even if your husband has your home in his name only your lawyer may find a loop hole so it's very important to seek legal advice. If there is nothing you can get from divorcing your husband you can apply for Disability. I work from home for a reason. My husband has a company on the side for doing contract spray jobs on large yachts. I have set-up a name for the business, do the work from home and get lots of tax dodges because of it. If you are fairly computer knowledgeable you could perhaps do work from your computer with pay of course. The future is ... working for companies from your home. Good luck

Can lithotripsy be used for arthritis?
Why is there no answer to this? Lithotripsy is an obvious area for exploration as a potential alternative to joint replacement in treatment of osteoarthritis.
For those of us with calcium deposits in the joint, theoretically, lithotripsy should be capable of breaking up the abnormal depositions so the body could reabsorb the calcium while leaving the healthy bone and cartilage unaffected.
Perhaps it was only a dream, but prior to my osteoarthritis becoming debilitation, I remember coming across an article on the subject talking using lithotripsy in arthritis as a promising new therapy. Then, could never find it again nor remember the source.
Of course, they do use "ultra-sound" to stimulate circulation to improve blood flow to the joint, but this article was discussion use of hyper-ultra-sonic like lithotripsy to actually break up the deposits.
At least one would suspect that such an obvious possibility would be the subject of research somewhere. But, alas, the United States Library of Medicine has absolutely nothing on this subject.
Could it be that once again, the medical research community has tilted in favor of radical invasive procedures (hip and knee replacements) that are economically favorable to surgeons, hospitals, and medical appliance manufacturers (the "Medical Industrial Complex") when a potentially cheap, safe and far more effective therapy is possible?
There are over 150 different forms of arthritis ranging from different forms of autoimmune disorders to that caused by trauma or just simple wear and tear. Arthritis relates to illnesses that affect the joints. some people never have any problem with it. however it is possible for everyone to to have arthritis.
