I have a question?? I found out I had damaged cartilage in my knee that has been left completely untreated for 4-5 years until 6 weeks ago when I started physical therapy. It helped the first couple of weeks and they want to try a steroid shot before surgery, but I know the steroid shot is just a temporary fix. My knee is progressively getting worse and I’m going to talk to my doctor. Would it be worth just taking the chance on the surgery cause if it doesn’t work I mean the benefits of the shot are only gonna lay temporarily anyways. The physical therapy has just made my knee swell up like a balloon because they’re focusing on muscle strength for support, but that’s not gonna fix the cartilage and I was in the worst pain I’ve ever been in two days ago. Is taking the chance on the surgery worth a try?
