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!!

I think it’s a bit like that, sometimes they work better than at others.....and sometimes they seem more painful initially.

Has to hit the exact spot I guess.

Brave having both knees done at same time, not usual in UK. But Good you’ve got relief, long may it last.

Not what you're looking for?
