Suggest Treatment For Persistent Knee Pain

I am 41 and had knee surgery 2 years ago. When I woke from surgery my Dr said my knee was worse than he thought. He said my knee really needed to be replaced but he did not recommend it because of my age. The Dr drilled 12 holes in my knee and I had Supartz shots. My knee is in constant aching, throbbing pain. Should I try Supartz again or have the surgery?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Total knee joint replacement patient find good difference in mobility after joint replacement.
So you can do TKR after consulting joint replacement surgeon, there will not be any problem probably.

Post operative Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises for early recovery.

If you want time for surgery you can take supartz shot.
