Chronic knee pain

This is my first message and I live in the UK. I have had two injections in the knee joint to no effect. Apparently the joint is degrading and the nerve in the inside of the leg is damaged and the a pain is unbearable without excessive amounts of oramorph and anitripylin. I feel like a complete Zombie most of the time and the pain is still dreadful. The wait for treatment just makes everything worse. Any advice would be very gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance

Hi. I just saw your post, and no one replied to it. How is your knee now? Have you had any treatment for it yet? As it's a year later i'm replying to your post.

I had the injection too into the knee, which didn't help. In the end had some meniscus tear trimmed. But it didn't fix the problem. Now looking into stem cell grafting in London but they can't get it to stick so said the nice consultant.
