After suffering a knee injury in December last year, I decided finally to see an orthopaedic surgeon about the persistent pain in the right knee. The outcome was a mix of good and bad news. The bad news is that I require an infiltration treatment of corticosteroids injected into my knee. The further bad news is that this is very probably not a permanent cure.
However, the good news is that losing a further 5 kilos or more of body weight can increase the chances of long-lasting relief from pain by 50% or more, thus possibly avoiding any further treatments.
