[|Human|] I had a broken knee cap in 1999 that healed completely. Have had complete use if it. Now I am starting to get pain (Level 7-8) on one side o that knee. If I garden for example within 3 hours I am sorry. Or some days I just get shooting pains in that right knee. Have had 3 steriod injections, with little relief
[|AI|]  Dear patient What is your age ? It seems you are past middle age since three steroid injections already are given most probably for osteoarthritis of the knee.  You ate having symptoms of osteoarthritis of knee and this needs to be investigated.  I would advise X-ray of involved knee anteroposterior(standing) and lateral views and skyline view of patella. This will help in confirming diagnosis. If X-ray report is showing arthritis you need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon with report. Meanwhile, avoid squatting and cross-legged position.  Take tab diclofenac 50 mg SOS for pain relief. All the best.
