After seeing my sports doctor today, we decided I should do physio. Not have a cortisone shot.

Best wishes. As you know cortisone can help with pain but unfortunately also in long term lead to more damage so I think you're making a wise choice. Let us know how it goes.

I’ve seen my physio a few times now and using her exercises to try and help my knee. Tiny improvements so maybe it will help. Fingers crossed for us!
