synisc injections in the knee not working

[mickymac]

I am 29yrs old male and i damaged the cartilage in my knee a few yrs ago and it has been getting worse since it happened.My doctor suggested synisc injections in my knee.I am having course of 3 and i had my first last week,my knee is worse if anything after it.The doctor will not give me a straight answer when i ask him these questions. What happens if they dont work ? would i have to get them for the rest of my life? will it limit my work an lifestyle if they do not work? thanks for your help

Bit confused I am. by Dr. do you mean Orthopaedic Surgeon?
It sounds as though you need an Arthroscopy, and no, oyu will not be a lifetime cripple.
