Is Cortisone Injection A Better Option Than Knee Replacement Surgery?
I have been told a total knee replacement on my left knee is required, just wondering would a cortisone injection be of help rather than operation, knee is quite bad at times & I do have trouble with steps/stairs, but must admit not sure of this knee replacement ?
