Re: knee pain
Hi,
which knee are we talking about here - the left or the right?
If it is the knee awaiting knee replacement then options may include a steroid injection or a Synsvic injection into the joint if appropriate.
Your orthopaedic surgeon/rheumatologist could advise on this after looking at the xrays and knowing when your date for surgery is.
Hope that helps
