Good luck. I just had my left knee and left ankle injected with cortisone about 30 minutes ago. I had X-Rays on my knee too.

I was doing the same thing with cortisone, but it was costing me $40 each time on my medicare supplement. The shots only seemed to help for a couple of months. A couple months later I was back for more shots. So, I decided to check out the VA where it wouldn't cost me anything. I was told there that cortisone will eventually erode the cartilage. They suggested a better option to try might be something called Euflexxa. It's a gel that won't erode the cartilage. You get one injection a week for 3 weeks. Then you are good to go for 6 months. If it works you can start a new series for another 6 months. They said some guys say it really works great. Some didn't. I'm in the first group, it was like a miracle. I've just started my second series about a month ago.

Check with your doctor. It's called Euflexxa. It sure was a better option for me.

The gel works only if you have cartilage left,, bone on bone won't work....I get cortisone in my shoulders, bone on bone, Doc said we can try the gel, but there's no place to put it, lol, sometimes it'll help for a couple months, not this last one though.
