Anyone on this panel use the Hyaluronan Injections - Joint Fluid Therapy to help eliviate knee pain? If so how long did it last?I have no personal experience, however I have a neighbor who has had both his ankles treated...IIRC three injections over a three week period of time. This was done early in the year and he hasn't limped or used a cane since.
Are you considering the therapy? Do a search of Synvisc. I _think_ that LinB has mentioned it at least a couple of times.
Good luck, Shug
Hi Ladybug, Have had both knees injected with Synvisc. I don't need to have L. knee injected any longer because I had a TKR but am still having the R. one done. In fact I'm having the 1 shot Synvisc injected tomorrow. The one shot has been on the market for about 6 months. Much easier than being injected for 3 consecutive weeks. I've used Synvisc about 3 years and I LOVE it. Lubricates the joint well for about 5 months. Great treatment. LindyThanks everyone for the information. I will ask my RA doc when I see her next. A RA doc is the one who can do this right? Or is it a Knee doctor? I hope it works. I'm trying to hold off on a right knee replacement. I had my left knee replaced in 2003. Thanks again.
