What Options Are Available When You’ve Already Tried Everything To Get Rid Of Your Knee Pain?

What are your options when you’ve been suffering with severe knee pain for years, and you’ve already tried everything to get rid of the pain for instance injections (cortisone and/ or gel injections), prescription/ over the counter medications, and/or have had arthroscopic knee surgery and your knee is not any better?

The following is a list of options:

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

A)  Live with the pain. (Obviously, this is not something you want to hear when you’re dealing with pain.)

B) Get a partial or total knee replacement. (Definitely NOT a good option, and should always be the final step after all conservative measures have been exhausted.)

C) Try more of the same things that didn’t get your knee better the first time around. (for example: medications, surgery and injections.) (Not a smart option)

In my opinion this shouldn’t even be an option.  I have never understood why someone would allow an orthopedic surgeon to perform arthroscopic knee surgery for a second time or undergo another round of knee injections if they weren’t successful the first time around.

D) Exercise.

Exercising the muscles around the knee joint is a crucial part of recovery.  However, it is only one step in the recovery process, and normally it is the last step. Even though patients are often told to exercise it is usually impossible for someone suffering with severe knee pain. If you are experiencing pain while exercising STOP BECAUSE YOU COULD BE CREATING MORE DAMAGE TO THE KNEE JOINT.

E) Cold Laser Therapy.

This is the final and in my opinion the best option for patients suffering from knee pain.

Cold lasers are safe and effective.  There is over 40 years of research proving its effectiveness in treating joint, and soft tissue ailments.  Cold lasers are used to help reduce/eliminate knee pain and inflammation, repair and heal damaged tissues in and around the knee joint, and speed up the healing process.  Cold lasers allow you to get back to living your life pain-free again without the need for medications, injections or surgery.

If you’ve already exhausted all of your options and don’t want a knee replacement then call our office.  You’ll be glad you did.  The only thing you’ll regret is not calling us sooner.
