Synvisc-One
osteoarthritis
"I had Synvisc-One injections about three weeks ago in both knees.  A few years ago I also has the injections over 3 weeks with no serious pain or after effects but lots of relief for 18 month's at least.  This time with just one injection my experience was horrendously painful during and after for 24 hours.  I had to be taken to my car in a wheel chair after the injections due to pain and swelling.  Ice did help. I wish he would have numbed the area 1st, I think that would have helped.  For 2-3 weeks after the Synvisc-One injections I had pretty significant ankle and foot swelling that I'm sure were from the injections.  I am beginning to feel improvement now again.  I think I might opt for the 3 injections next time, less pain."
