A member asked:
Considering visco supplementation injections or steroid injection for arthritic knees. should i see a rheumatologist or an orthopaedic for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ORS: Either can inject your painful arthritic knee. My preference would be an experienced board certified ORS, however, as he or she can treat you medically, and if your pain continues and it is indicated, surgically. Best of Luck!
