JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS TRIED SYNVISC? ITS A INJECTION THATS GIVEN IN THE KNEE FOR ARTHRITIS TO HELP LUBRICATE THE KNEE AND IT WORKS AS A SHOCK ABSORBER ITS GIVEN IN A SERIES OF THREE SHOTS WITHIN A 15 DAY PERIOD. IF ANYONE HAS TRIED THIS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT REALLY WORKS I GOT MY FIRST SHOT YESTERDAY AND I HAVE 5 MORE TO GO BECAUSE I NEED BOTH KNEES DONE.

  • I work for a big group of orthopaedic doctors and we inject patients with synvisc ALOT. We recommend it. Most patients like it however there are a few who say it did nothing for them. Give it some time and get all your shots.
  • Margo, does it do anything for some us us folks suffer from acute gout attacks?
  • no not really. Talk to an orto doctor i think there are things that can help that though.
