There are a couple of other web sites but I was unable to get to them. If
anybody knows of any more, please let me know.
Has anybody out there tried the magnetic therapy knee braces? I found a
place I can order one for $39.95 and was wondering if it was worth the money.
Another question - has anybody has a cortisone shot in their knee, and if
so, what did you think of it? Did it help?
The doctor thinks I may have a menial tear (the meniscus is the cartilage
surrounding the knee). I have been taking anti-inflammatories, icing twice
a day, using linament, and trying to stay off of my leg. I'm going back to
the doctor on Tuesday, that is why I am asking about the cortisone. I think
my knee is getting better - for a few days I could hardly walk on it, even
with pain pills. It is still a little swollen, but I am able to move around
now without any pain if I'm careful. I don't remember injuring the knee,
but I must have done something because it never bothered me before now. If
anybody else out there has had an injury similar to this, I'd love to hear
from you!
