I am in the U.S. and have inadequate health insurance, and even if I did have a decent plan, even ACI is still considered "experimental", so even if the FDA ever approves this, it will be years before any carrier is going to pay anything towards it. Two orthopedic surgeons and three radiologists downplayed my injury (from a fall), yet ten months laster I still have pain and swelling. The best explanation for this was chondromalacia, although initially there was more wrong, but nothing was torn, and the lesion is not that big. This is why I think the SaluCartilage implant could help me, and if I am paying for it myself maybe I could actually get care without being dismissed for not having good insurance. Does anyone have any leads? Calling one hospital, one sports medical clinic, the SaluMedica company (plus emailing them), and emailing one doctor has so far gotten me nowhere, and it's expensive to keep randomly calling places in Canada.
