My experience is similar - arthroscopy may give temporary relief of symptoms to some patients, but the condition always seems to return, needing more vigorous treatment later.
Maybe it's useful for short term relief.

But hang on, the docs have to make money somehow.

as far as i know If you have persistent pain, catching, or swelling in your knee, a procedure known as arthroscopy may help relieve these problems. but i can't understand why you have gioven such comment, please let me know the reason clearly.

Healthy, if you are asking about the reasons for not lauding this procedure, it is for the reasons given- that it is something which gives temporary relief to some people but is not a long term solution.
If you are asking about JonB's comment - well, he likes a bit of fun!
Welcome to the forum, healthy!

The alternative treatment for osteoarthritis is CMO, Glusosamine supplements, MSM, Trace minerals and if you are older perhaps a HGH precursor supplement.

I waited untill the pain was unbearable befor having my surgery done, heres a link to the video. https://www.metacafe.com/watch/991938/my_knee_surgey I feel better now but time will tell.

rcasady, thanks for the video. When was your surgery?

If you have a good result from it we would like to know. My views of that surgery are formed by my work - so I see only those people who have not had a successful outcome, or whose problems returned after a short time. I am not likey to meet those who are completely cured by this procedure unless such success stories are available online!

Last October I was waiting for the tree surgeon to come and trim the old Oak to the side of the house!!
But he delayed for a couple of weeks because he had to have this procedure done - well, 'they' said he had to have it done!!
It's done as day surgery here - keyhole operation - you can go home the same day!!
He picked up a HAI - Hospital acquired infection!! - Even now it's still touch and go as to whether he may need an amputation!!
Seems a high price to pay to me!

But then - I don't know how bad the pain was!!
