Good day, Kindly note that i have post trauamtic knee osteoarthritis as a result of accident in 2008.Recently i have started having knee pain.I consulted few doctors and they are suggesting knee injections for relief as pain not going away by medicines.But one is saying that u need a steriod injection whereas the other is saying that u will need a gel injection.I have attached X ray reports.Kindly suggest which one will be more beneficial in my case.Thank you.
