Suggest Treatment For Chronic Knee Pain Despite Having Cortisone Shots

I have gotten 14 cortisone shots in each arm, elbows and was finally operated on. I have pains in both my knees showing damage to the miniscus, have had so many shots. I just finished the 3 series shots that cost my insurance and Medicare $2,000.00. My fingers are Langley from osteozrthritus. Is there any help left? I wear braces on my knees, my wrists and my back. I feel that I would be better off if God called me home.

Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

You can consider higher end analgesics like hydrocodone.
