• Arthritis
• Meniscal injuries

SURGERY SIDE EFFECTS:

Most patients who experience chronic knee pain that is affecting their activities are daily living, get frustrated, and then eventually resort to what their doctor wants them to do…..a surgical consult, which ultimately leads to a replacement in the knee joint. The problem with a replacement in the knee joint is that it is permanent, and no further treatment can be performed in a replaced synthetic joint. When patients receive a knee replacement, if pain persists after the surgery, there usually are no other options for relief, their daily pain is now part of their lifestyle.
Steroid shots are another option with severe side effects. Steroid shots are usually limited to 3 injections per year due to this one side effect….. deterioration of bone at the injection site. Other side effects include elevated blood sugars, suppression of the immune system, and degradation of the soft tissue structures and it can lead to other long-term complications.
