When I was adancing, I used to get cortisone shots in my knees every other week. It worked on teh pain and swelling, made them go away.

That was more than 20 years ago. I don't understand why they are calling it a "new" treatment, when sprots doctors have been doing it for athletes and dancers for decades.

But, it works. I was feeling relief before I left the doctor's office after every injection.

I hope you get as much relief out of it as I did!

I know you are happy about the knees and getting them taken care of. I'm waiting now until 29 March to have my 3 shot routine in the right knee. They withdrew fluids from the left one and gave me the cortisone injection with that long needle.

I really don't want to but I may have no choice but to get replacement knees. I can hardly walk now.

Let me know what you decide on replacements, OK?

The injection aren't new it's what they are using with what is being injected in your joint.
