i went to the doctors a few months ago but havent been able to go back because of money. ive had 2 cortizone shots, an aspiration, and an mri. The mri revealed I have knee effusion mainly above my right knee and a defenerative meniscus. i havent been back and its painful during and after work. I di corrections so Im always on my feet. What should i do? I dont want surgery because sometimes it does more harm than good and its harder to heal a degenerative if at all. im active and want to get back to playing basketball, running, crossfit, etc. I cant do any of that without mild to semi moderate pain. i want to get back to being 100% asap. Any advice or knowledge about this would help and be greatly appreciated.
