Remember: Intrarticular steroids don't help everyone. Hopefully, you have had a formal evaluation of what the cause of your knee pain is, as that will be the cornerstone of management. Depending on the cause, alternative treatments can be determined, but with the limited information you provided it's hard to better guide you.
