I had arthroscopic surgery for pain on my rt. knee Oct. 15. at first, I had some relief from knee pain. The surgery was done to clean up scar tissue from a mcl tear, meniscus damage and arthritis in the joint. The md that did the surgery said that my age, I might experience some pain. The pain increased to the point that I asked him for some relief and I received a steroid injection in the joint. That worked great for about 2 weeks and I started to get pains in multiple joints especially my hips and lower back. It's really bad now, and I would like relief from this multiple pain problem. He suggested a steroid regimen??
