I had synvisc shots 6 months ago

They work nicely and allowed me to get back to work

I have had several over last few years and until last one they dulled the knee pain for several months but last one seems to have caused flare up.

I had steroids injected into my knees and a plasma that mimics the synovial fluid.....and both for me were a fail.

I had four rounds of them which bought me precious time (3 years) before finally having full right knee replacement 12/18. I have been getting them in my left knee for 2 years and will do so to avoid replacing this knee as long as possible.
