A member asked:
I had throned side ligaments that where repaired (sowed) , but i still have continues pain around the knee, are there alternatives to cortisone ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: By side ligaments, do you mean mcl, lcl, posterior lateral ligaments? If so, choices include bracing, platelet rich plasma which can be regenerative and promote healing. Some docs are using irritant agents like dextrose, alcohol or erythromycin. Almost at the point of stem cells. It depends on how torn and when it was torn. See a non-operative orthopedist or primary care sports medicine doc.
