I would recommend seeing a good orthopedic Doc. For my bone-on-bone knee, they tried a cortisone shot but that only helped for a few weeks. Then I got a gel shot (actually a series of 3 shots) that has provided relief for 9 months and counting.

From google on gel shots: Synvisc knee injections, also known as Hylan G-F 20, are one of the most common types of joint lubricant injections used for the treatment of knee arthritis. The substance used in synvisc knee injections is hyaluronan, which is a natural gel-like substance found in normal joint fluid, which lubricates the knee

I think these ads in the local paper are basically gel shots but I could be wrong. I’ve used Advanced Orthopedics Institute by the Villages Hospital but I think most ortho doctors will do gel shots.
