I've had bad knees most of my life. This week was a bad week for my right knee...I won't type out all the details, as it'll take an hour or two.
Anyway, after a minor twist incident to my right knee yesterday, and more pain then has ever occurred before (I couldn't put any weight on that leg), I would have fell to the ground, if I didn't catch myself on my car (happened at the dollar store parking lot).
I made a Dr appt this morning, they did some xrays...first time my knees have been xray'd. Not much cartilage left, torn meniscus is suspected in Right knee. They gave me, my first shot of cortisone. The Left knee looks far worse, but currently there is no pain there, so they did nothing about that...It's probably just a matter of time before I am needing a couple new knees?
Anyway, any comments about Cortisone shots?
The Dr said it may take 2 to 10 days to take effect and then how long it lasts is just a guess?
