Has anyone used Pentosan Polysulfate (PPS) to treat their OA? 

I’ve seen a number of articles and videos talking about accessing it via the special access scheme or clinical trial happening at the moment? 

Appears to be working well.

Has anyone used it or have any more information on this?

Much appreciated.

    Haven't heard of this but am interested. What I'm doing sure isn't working & I'm tired of surgery.

    Looks like they've been using it on horses for years. I know lots of farm folks who doctor themselves w/animal products they get at the farm & fleet. I'm not that brave smile Hope they don't tie this up in clinicals too long. Doen't seem like the trials are going on in the states.
