How Can Arthritis In The Knees Be Treated?
I m 84 female. Diagnosed with knee arthritis. Had MRI - not fractures or tears. Sever inflammation of the knee and under the knee cap. Not looking for surrey if at all possible. had cortisone shot when this happen 5/26. Not much relief. Right shorter due to a lumbar scoliosis curvature to the left. Now my right knee sometimes rubs against left when I walk. Would a long knee brace help the arthritis and help to keep the right leg straighter?
