A member asked:
For pain in mt knees due to partial bone on bone would knee radio-frequency ablation be a good option to try. the gel shot didn't work completely & i don't want surgery yet?

It may be helpful for pain control, no effect on your structural joint problem, you can give it a try if knee arthroplasty is not preferred at this time. By the way, if you had only the gel shot in the past you now should try steroid shot.
