I am suffering from advancing osteoarthritis in my right knee. It has been treated conservatively and I’ve recently got cortisone injection. The procedure was relatively painless and within 2 days all pain was gone and I was able to resume all of my normal activities. However, I can’t live on cortisone shots. I don’t know what to do next. I need help.

I had knee surgery, also advancing osteoarthritis. I didn’t know what to expect from surgery. But I’ve found great surgeon who honest and wasn't afraid to tell me the surgery may not make me better but we would try and see. I feel great now!
