Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain
Hello, thank you in advance for your help. I have a knee that I was told by a Doctor was bone to bone. It would catch about 1 time a week and now it is up to a couple times a day. I heard second hand there is something that can be injected into your knee to buffer the bones, so you can forgo surgery. ???????? Mike

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per the history this looks more of a Severe OA of the knee or may be a ligament injuries. Taking a thorough clinical examination and an MRI of the knee should help understand what pathology is happening and the treatment plan can be prepared.
Usually initially drug therapy and physical therapy is advised for reducing pain and improving muscle strength. The other option goes is the ligament reconstruction or a TKR for the same. Choice is depending upon the Clinical symptoms and also the laboratory investigation.
