What is the best way to cope with and treat seperated cartallige from my Patella? Wow, Pain/Swelling!!!?

My left knee is, like, hugely swollen. X-rays show cartellige seperation from Patella. I say I should get Cortesone shot every week. My doctor sez, No, Creates loss of immune system. What is the best way to cope with this untill I can get operation??

You should ask the Dr to get you an MRI before you go thru surgery for the patella.If he did the MRI to see if there is true cartilage tear then ask the Dr if an I& D is possiable if
its extremley swollen. You really can't do anything for pain besides ask him to write you a prescription for something but more than likely the Dr. is going to tell you to take some imbuprofen & ice your knee limit your walking untill surgery
You can only get a cortizone shot every 3 months

Also after the surgery you have to do your P.T.very important
