    Go back to your gp and request referral for pain management.

    Do have any signs of internal bleeding in the joint? Also, were these docs orthopods or GPS? Make sure you have a good seasoned orthopod and as a side just ask about possibility of pvns. Pvns is a very rare almost diabotical benign tumor that has two forms. It hit me 12 yes ago and an orthopod group of 8 with over 100 yes between them had never seen a case either in practice or med school. The pain is unbelievable.

    where is the pain in your knee?  I had similar experience but I only give a suggestion if your pain is where mine was.  I had 2 MRIs,  2 bone scans, two blood tests and a biopsy.  It took 3 drs. before someone figured out why I had the pain.  Do not give up! I also had terrible pain at night.  Are you having that?

    I have a calcification of the medial lateral ligament.  It wasnt diagnosed through the MRI or bone scans.  When I had x-rays done 8 months later it showed the calcification.  If you have pain caused by a ligament, I would try the injection.  It helps with the inflammation (fluid) caused by the injury to it.  It is the least invasive treatment and if it works, that's great !

    I was told after a similar investigation there was nothing to see. However, a uear and a half later the pain became much more acute and I was told I had a bakers cyst that had ruptured. I was later informed this cyst, though small at the time, appeared on the first scan. So, I would suggest you go and ask your gp to check it out
