<s>[INST] What is Diprofos injection and is it recommended for knee pain I am 54 years 5 6 weighs 165 lbs suffering from severe pain in the right knee for almost 6 months antiflamatory tabs help but on completion of dose pain recurs - xrays show no signs of arthritis etc. [/INST] Hi, Disproofs is a corticosteroid injection and some surgeons use it for early osteoarthritis to relieve pain. In your situation since you have early kneed OA you will benefit from one of the newer Hyaluronic knee injection now available. Corticosteroid injections though can be of limited use are best avoided as better options are available. In addition, please decrease your body weight, do knee exercises, take anti-inflammatory tablets on and off. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  </s>
