See details: See an orthopedist. Start with physical therapy, exercises, anti-inflammatory meds and possibly local cortisone injections. See an orthopedist.

Possibly: PRP is an offered treatment that has shown good success however is considered experimental at this time. The basic theory is it helps to strengthen the ligaments using your own platelets/growth factors and therefore reducing stress on the joint by tightening them up. As far as I know its safer than steroid injection. Pretty cool stuff. Check out Regenexx.Com.
