A member asked:
I've had surgery on my knee to remove cartilage and i get cortisone shots now, is there something i can do so i don't need shots anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bracing anti-inflammatories: Other treatments can include oral anti-inflammatories, bracing to shift weight from the affected side of the knee to areas where there's healthy cartilage, or injection therapy called visco-supplementation.
