Question
I would appreciate an answer. I have Osteoarthritis in one of my knees. The area around the knee is swollen. I am constantly in pain. I am on painkillers every day. The X-ray shows “bone on bone” rubbing. Do I need knee replacement or are there injections available to rebuilt the Cartilage?
Answer
Likely you will need joint replacement. The decision is based on your pain and disability, not so much on the x-ray changes.
