[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 356000, member: 1514"] The first set of knee shots lasted about 5 months which wasnt too bad. I mean it took 5 weeks of shots so that was a month and a week out of the 5 months so I ended up with just a tad over 4 months that I felt okay. They second time they lasted about 3 to 4. This last time, the shots ended in October and I was in agony in December. Im not doing them again. I think I am going to ask to have a referral to an arthritis doctor to get their take on my situation. Frankly an ortho is simply a surgeon. When I need surgery, I will go back to him. He is wonderful. I think I will see what this arthritis doctor says and then get referred also to a pain management doctor too. I want and need long acting pain medications since I am choosing to just deal with pain at this time. I dont need to take this much tylenol either. That junk will kill my liver. I need medications which are pure like plain oxycodone or morphine or fentanyl. [/QUOTE]
