Too young for knee replacement! So, for that reason I am on my 3rd set of injections, problems with both knees. Very painful when getting the injections and a discomfort for a couple of hours after. But, it is working, pain is a lot less. Very happy with the progress. Don't let the pain of the injection hold you back on finishing the whole treatment.

I have had two scopes to repair the same torn meniscus and still had chronic knee pain. Doctor recommended these injections. All three were relatively painless. Definite improvement, but not pain free. Bike riding is great, but most impact activities are no good like jogging, climbing, etc. Too young for knee replacement so injections every 6 months fro 10 year and we'll see.
