A member asked:

After having chronic pain in both knees for most of my life, i had the plica removed in one knee - but now the pain is worse. what is my next step?

One knee: Please see your doctor who took care of one knee. He/she will work with you very carefully. It is also important to see what is causing your problems. Hope all goes well - please let me know what happens.
