See Ortho: Continue to see ortho, especially an orhto who specializes in knees. If you are overweight, it is crucial you lose weight. Tkr in a 33yo is rare as surgery is always the last option. Not sure if you have tried synvisc (hylan g-f 20) (hyalan g-f), which may help your condition. Keep seeing the ortho and working on the best treatment. Good luck.

Knee pain: The knee can be caused by arthritis, ligament injury, tendon tears, muscle strain ... With your conditions, you might benefit from steroid injection and/or synvisc (hylan g-f 20) injection before knee replacement. Please see a pain management doctor or orthopedic surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
