Knee Injections: OA of the knees respond to corticosteroid injections . This is sometimes used to reduce the inflammation and pain. Synvisc-One is another injectable that can cushion and lubricate the knee. There are also oral medications that will help with the pain. Alot depends on how bad the Arthritis is and the pain in the knee.
