Yea i agree with Muzna on this. My mom’s in the same situation. She gets the cotisone shots.
Before the shot, my mom could hardly walk because of the pain in her knee. But almost immediately after, she was climbing up and down stairs as if nothing was wrong. But with in 6 months she was back to get the shot again.

And i have heard the shots could be bad for the bone after a while.

If anything, if the pain is intolerable, get a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon. My mom had orthoscopic surg in one of her knees and hasnt had to go back for shots or any further physical therapy after the surgery.

Hope your mommy gets better, Ray!

it’s NOT recommended for more than 2-3 times…after that they consider knee surgery.
