Joint pain: There are always option other than pain medications. If you were to be referred to a fellowhip trained interventional pain physician, then with proper workup, you may be a candidate for joint injections with steroid, viscoelastic supplements, or even prp. Talk to your primary physician or look up your nearby appropriately trained and boarded pain physician.
