DH had it done many times. 

 

Painful shot....helped for about 3-4  mos.  Insurance would only cover it every 6 mos.

 

Eventually, he had to have the knee replaced because the shots no longer had any effect on the pain.

 

Good luck to you!

 

 

Same with me. Each shot lasted less and less time. Ended up with knee replacement.

@matty liz  After meniscus surgery, I had several cortisone shots.  The first one lasted about a year, but the other two did not last long.  My surgeon at the time wanted to do knee replacement, so I found another ortho.  I now get gel shots.  They are not perfect, but I prefer them over cortisone, especially since I do not plan on knee replacement any time soon.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!
