Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1647212, member: 652"] My dad is a doctor. Cortisone shots work the first couple of times you get them as they take away pain around damaged cartilage from causing bone on bone stress. Cortisone fills in the areas of around damaged cartilage and take stress away and thus take away pain. The more frequent you get cortisone shots the less efficient they are as the body adjusts to the shots and they less efficient. If you can get the surgery I would think it would be the smarter long term play. Cartilage doesn't regenerate in bodies and thus the bone on bone could cause pain. I don't know if you need a scope which would take out scar tissue or just regular shots. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
