A member asked:
Can you tell me if the cortisone injection does not help my arthritis in my kneewhat will be the next step?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: Cortisone injections in the knee help reduce inflammation and pain. Unfortunately, they do not always work. It's important to let the doctor know about persistent pain, since additional evaluation including x-ray and possibly arthroscopic surgery may be necessary to determine the cause of the pain
