Medicare will pay for the gel shot every 6 months in the knee, unsure about the hip, that may be different. 

It's only 50% effective & the injection is painful. But worth a try. Very limited treatments. After cortisone & gel injections you move into surgery.

I do not find the injection in my knee to be painful, it gets numbed first. I will take a stab at 50% berfore surgery any day.
