FYI, a year ago I had 1 shot of Orthvisc (no change) from Primary Doctor. 6 months ago I had a shot of Synvisc 1 from Specialist (no change). Last week both knees were injected with Synvisc 1 by Specialist and....drum roll.....Success! Of course it felt like my knees were going to explode right afterward, but within 24 hours NO PAIN!!
