My knee, OT
I had cortisone shots in my back when it was bad - and it didnt do diddly for me, but I know everyone's different.
Now - I was told you can't have more than 3 cortisone shots or it starts breaking down the cartiledge... so ask about that.
Hopefully you'll find relief soon. Swinging for ya!

I know you are trying to avoid a knee replacement but I have seen many do so well wth this surgery and with you now being so little, you would do great. I know separating you from your ponies is not what you want though!
Thinking of you!

I also had this surgery due to wanting to be as active as possible......working in healthcare I knew what I was facing if the weight stayed on and I really would like to NOT be disabled if I can prevent that.
I wish you the best of luck with your knee....hopefully the shots will help!
I got cortsone shots, had my knee drained, reshaped my knee cap surgically so it wouldn't scape, you name it I did it. I DO NOT recommend you putting yourself through all that,. It doesn't work long term. Those things are a temporary fix that don't last to long. Sometimes the draining and the shots, which are both very painful to do, last about 2 -3 weeks then they have to be done again.
A total is what will do the trick. Get a second oppinion if you're not sure but your DH is right. Do it now and get it over with. You won't be sorry after all is healed.
If you have questions you can e-mail me Good luck to you.
