Doctor wouldn't inject me since he wasn't certain of exactly what's going on with the knee. He suggested an X-ray. I declined on that for now. He wrote me a prescription for the methylpredisolone pack that you recommended and also some 800 mg Ibuprofen. I asked him to  help find me a good rheumatologist.  So, the treatment so far is the steroid pack, 2400mg/day Ibuprofen and 1600mg/day Turmeric/Curcumin.

Good start! But still find a clinic that will do the injection if pain gets unbearable. And I have found the M-pack works much better if taken faster. 3-2-2 with meals for 3 days and you should be good. And Hoot is right and I only mentioned exercise in passing...when you are pain free try to walk 20-30 minutes a day. Good luck and there is a 95% chance you can beat the knee pain for good, or at least keep it at bay for the vast majority of the time.
