Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronan) is injected directly into the knee joint as a treatment for the pain in the knee associated with osteoarthritis. This treatment is normally reserved for those patients who have not responded to the traditional treatments for osteoarthritis pain.
I believe physical therapy is good for Exercises For Weak & Painful Knees, but if the knee pain getting worse, I suggest to get some advise from the Doctor would be better.
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.
Its a operation for knee treatment
A dislocated knee is a serious injury. Treatment for it starts with treating vascular and nerve injuries, after that the "meniscus" and "cartilage" are repaired.
Absolutely, it happened to me. Palpitations after a cortisone injection in my right knee it began the next day.
As good as the placebo response they cause - no better.
Rest is usually the first option for treating knee pain. Placing ice on the knee to reduce swelling can be effective. Wrapping the knee with a compression bandage is helpful and elevating it above the level of the heart is another treatment.
No. I have a significant fear of needles and had my knee drained of fluid followed by a cortisone injection. The doctor used a freeze/numbing spray on my knee topically and then injected the knee with some type of anesthetic. The only minor pain I felt was the injection for the anesthetic. I did not feel any pain while the fluid was being drained or the cortisone shot administered.
Knee liposuction is used in treatment for patients with excessive swelling or other ailments to the knee. Its not used to loose weight.
Treatment for a knee injury completely depends on the type of injury that occurred. This can range from simple rest, ice, elevation and tension to full out surgery and rehabilitation.
