diagnosed with degenerative cartilage of the knee and also a fractured knee cap -- my doctor has told me I would be looking at a knee replacement in the next 2 years -- I am only 52 and have never had problems until last year -- to date, I have received 3 cortisone injections since January 2009 along with arthroscopic surgery -- is there anything I can do to strenghten the knee as I am still experiencing pain when walking and have read that the cortisone shots could be breaking down the cartilage even more
