osteoarthritis
"I need bi-lateral knee replacement but due to being only 50 we are trying to put it off if we can.  Had both knees injected April 24/17.  No numbing used and the injections were quite unpleasant.  I'm on day 4 and feel minimal difference in the right knee and still have dreadful pain in the left.  Unless something changes in the next couple of days I most likely will not do this again.  Have opted to get the surgery."
