I do not know if this is where I should post this, but thought someone could tell me of his/her experiences with cortisone injections in a knee. I had surgery that forced me to sit on a sitz bath to heal properly. Well, I ruined my knees doing this. I immediately quit the sitz baths when I awakened one morning to both knees hurting and found them not reliable. I "folded" several times but caught myself. I have been using my HurryCane to get around. I thought my knees would heal. Finally, I went to my PCP and he gave me a cortisone injection in my right knee. Not only did that not help, it made my knee worse. When I called about this I was told to go to an orthopedic health place. I have not begun this process. Have any of you had a similar bad experience with an injection that only made things worse? What did you do? I am just trying to keep moving but wonder if the knees are shot and I really will have to go to the orthopedic health place. What do they do at these places? I am certainly not looking for surgery. My PCP x-rayed both knees and said they looked better than his. He had a knee replacement. As many of you have mentioned, it is never just one thing wrong. My "What fresh hell is this?" this morning was my left index finger reminding me I had arthritis. At least I am right-handed. Any thoughts are welcome. @joybringer1
