Because of the band I have had steroid injections to help with my scar tissue. I took the injection after nearly 9 months. After 6 weeks I took the second one and the steroid has helped a lot. I had to go to the Dermatologist to take the steroid injections. I was not aware of this and my surgeon told me every time it will pass off and it was getting worse. I googled online and I asked my surgeon and then he tells me yes you can take the steroid and it should help. For my second knee I took the steroid after three months and I am doing so much better with only one injection. I may not require a second shot. The Dermatologist told me the chances are 5 to 10% the scar tissue can come back.
