Knee arthritis

[xoggoth]

My bro in law's missus has had a knee op. Went well and she's nearly back to normal now.

Another close friend has just received a new treatment, some sort of injectable coating for the moving knee parts.
I don't know the name of it, I'm afraid. It's Danish, I believe. Not covered by the NHS, and quite new. But my mate seems to be getting on well with it.

Definitely worth exploring. Local anaesthetic and fast recovery time. Being laid up for weeks is one of the main things that puts me off surgery.

Anyone here suffer from this?

Had it for years but has been getting worse lately. GP wants to prescribe oral NSAIDs. Also mentioned hydrocortisone injections. Said I'd have a think about it.

Wondering if any of the following might help.
Topical NSAIDs eg Voltarol.
More low-impact exercise eg. cycling, swimming.
Physio.

Long-term may be looking at knee replacement but don't particularly relish this.

Anything else help?
Thanks

Im a bit late to the party on this and haven't read all the replies yet, but I have had this for 10 years. Can only walk supported now. NSAIDS will only work for a brief period. Heat however does help a bit. Everyone is different though.
Be very, very careful with the exercise and the physio. Some physios will try and persuade you that more physio/exercise is the answer when actually it is not, be careful not to fall into the trap.
The steroid injections do have quite the failure rate. One of mine failed instantly the other only lasted a few months.
In almost constant pain even with quite the cocktail of some heavy duty painkillers. (yes I have other medical conditions as well though and quite a few of those)
Been told too young for knee replacements in the past. (Only just turned 50)
Be careful with driving and medication, check your prescriptions against the notifiable medications list.

That's it. Well found.
Might be a good option for managing mobility and pain while waiting for a knee replacement on the NHS.

Thet's the stuff my wife had earlier in the year. She wasn't one of the success stories.

Sorry I missed that in your earlier post. I guess it might be worth a shot.
