6 weeks ago I had steroid injections in my knee - been pain free (was in agony).
It's starting to come back. Physio suggested hyaluronic acid injections.
There are multiple blurbs from different clinics all over the country saying they work, '30% of patients become pain free for 2 years' etc etc hyperbole
However they are not NICE recommended and this article on actual scientific studies is what I want someone else's opinion on
www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2015/05/18/do-injections-work-for-knee-pain-dont-waste-your-money/amp/
I can only have steroid injections every 3 months so am doing everything recommended to hold the pain at bay (at huge financial cost)
I don't want to have injections that don't work and I think that article is pretty bloody clear.

Anyone any good at evaluating summaries of scientific studies?
