PVNS Eventually Goes Away?
What? Did you read that right? PVNS just goes away eventually? On it's own? Without surgery? The word I have heard recently from others who suffer from PVNS that they have been told it's possible. Medical professionals that once diagnosed that there is a peak time for PVNS to "live" but then eventually it stops growing and is no longer an issue. This is news to me after suffering for well over a decade. I have had 3 surgeries since being diagnosed 6 years ago and I feel that it's time for another surgery soon. I have heard other people talk about their many surgeries, joint replacements, and even amputation. If there was any chance that PVNS "going away" on it's own I would think people would not go to the extreme of amputation or even choose to have repetitive surgeries. This is the first year I have ever heard of this concept. I have heard of people getting surgery and it going essentially dormant for a while but then coming back later after several years. I would not assume anything anyone says in the medical profession is 100% correct. An interesting concept but I will say this about PVNS, it is different for everyone.
