Hi,
I have a knee problem that unfortunately my doctor has not been able to diagnosed. An X-Ray and MRI were taken and no apparent structural damage can be found. the doctor suggested that may be an early stage of arthritis on my knee and 3 shots of collagen may help. I already had a cortizone shot from the same doctor and did not provide any pain relieve. I am runner and I do not start experiencing the pain until I ran 2 to 3 miles.
I have some doubts about the collagen injections, anyone has experienced this procedure? side effects?
