Hi Wilgranny, yes I have had 3 of these injections. November 2021, December 2021 and January 2022. I went to a Private Physiotherapist. I was desperate as nothing could be done for months on NHS and I was visiting my daughter and grandchildren in Malaysia in January 2022. I could hardly walk . These are supposed to last up to 9 months and I am still pain-free now nearly 7 months later.

It was definitely worth it. I am no further with NHS.

Good luck.

Can you get these on the NHS or are you getting them privately like flamenca1 ?I hope you post after you have them to let us know how it went and if you think that they work well.

Good luck and take care , Bee

I googled this online and am considering having it done in my left knee for osteoarthritis it's around £300 for course of 3 injections but worth it to be pain free hope yours helps you a long time .
