Sorry...you weren't ' asking my comment above. In Reply to Jferraon611 can you ask for a different opinion from someone. I did that and he is trying to help me get where I need to be with the soreness and stiffness. Prior though genicular nerve block (no nerve issue), went to vascular so no vein issue and the second Dr. had me to a bone scan. No inflammation in the joint so it's all muscular. I go back in 6 weeks after wearing a brace part of the day and doing more exercise and I'm being faithful to do it more.
