I have had joint juice injections in the past, they helped. This is a bit different then the "you need a replacement but" pain. I go see the doc tomorrow. I have been stretching consistently for over a year now. Pain doc suggested I get a Peleton bike, so I did. I am guessing that this recent flareup is probably just me doing to much to soon.
The orthopedic place I am going to has told me that they do have plenty of patients that have had both knees replaced and they go about a normal life. Doc told me that the no kneel/no squat is just a suggestion.
How long have you been getting the shots?
