Who have had various joints replaced were always thankful for the shots but lamented that, after a time, they don't seem to last as long.

I have heard about the damages too and there is probably some truth to the claims but there is always a trade off somewhere along the line. I make a salve that I offer to friends with such pain, it helps to some degree but it has caveats but does enhance the shots. The primary ingredient is comfrey, it can't be used continuously or long term but it does promote healing and helps kill pain.
