Cartilage in my knee is almost gone and now it is painful to walk what are my options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee pain: After the cartilage is worn down it is important to get physical therapy to keep the muscles about the knee strong. Arthritis medicines help the inflammation pain, steroid injections help but at some point a total knee replacement will be done.
