Synvisc-One for Bilateral Osteoarthitis

[viking63]

Are you able to do everything you could do when your knees were healthy?

No! Can barely walk some days. Stairs cause my knees to sound like a bowl of Rice Crispies.

Thanks all for you comments! CF'rs are the best.

Synvisc injections are basically a modern name for
gell of chicken combs. Works for some, just like other injections. A friend of mine has gone with Synvisc some time ago, - does not want to go through that again. Needs surgery, but refuses.
This involves three injections now??
As mentioned by Farcyted, I would consider your age and pain level. May work for two weeks, may work for six months.
I myself had both knees replaced 7 yrs ago, and a shoulder 12 weeks ago. Knees were so much easier.

My neighbor gets these, they call them **** Shots.
