Without knowing much about the knee pain or your age, I would say that in most cases, knee pain does not require a knee replacement. Often, knee pain can be the result of stress to the knee, mild spraining, or even weak bones. Taking a calcium supplement and avoiding strenuous lifting or other difficult activities for a few days should help the pain. If pain persists after that time, it would be best to see your doctor, but needing a knee replacement is still very unlikely.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?
I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
What is a good source of relief for knee pain?
Relief for knee pain depends on the severity of it. Relief can range from prescription medications, to over the counter medications and creams, to orthotics or bracing for support. Injection can be helpful in more severe cases and in even more severe cases surgery may need to be an option. Knee surgery includes arthroscopic surgery, partial knee replacement, and total knee replacement.
