"I am 52 years old and have had pain in my knee for years, probably due to tearing my patella and fracturing my tibia plateau and I also have a little arthritis. My prior surgery was a huge waste of time and money and got little if no relief. I am now on my 3rd shot in a series of 4 and couldn&#039;t be happier. The shot itself is no big deal after they deaden the area with lidocaine, in fact I couldn&#039;t even tell when they gave me the shot. I highly recommend this as an alternative to surgery if at all possible."
