I have had alot in my knee. I did try to space them apart - even waited a full tear. They made me feel invicable and I did do further damage. Last week went to check out pain in my knee and alas my cartalidge is very spotty. My choice is now Synvisc injection or more -4th - surgery. I'm loosing weight and it feels a little better.

I wouldn't do too many. It tends to weaken the tendons.. Just be sensible in your activities and always know your knee placement. Hope you heal up!:glasses:

I haven't recieved the shot yet. I am still waiting on Insurance approval.

My sister had this done and it helped for about 6 months. Unfortunately her knees were very very bad; she did have a knee replacement in June of 2012 and it is almost non functional. She even underwent mobility under anethesia - and it still didnt free up the knee replacement. She has about a 90 degree bend and she has always been very active. So disappointing..

Steroid shots don't work for me - Synvisc lasts at least a year for me (about to get another). I've had 3 knee surgeries and have little cartiledge left. I have arthritis forming on one side and a cyst on the other, so I hope this latest shot will help - the steroid shot I had, didn't.
