Advise on problem with knee

In December my daughter got married, and I wore heels to the wedding. The next day I had horrible pain on the back side of my leg(behind the knee), it felt like pulled tendons or something. Then I waited for it to get better and it just got worse. So I finally saw an orthopedic doc and they did an x-ray that showed there was an old injury there probably from childhood. He gave me the diganosis of osteoarthritis. I got one kenalog inj. that didn't really help then I got a decodron inj. that didn't really help, then he started me on a 3 time inj. synvisc, it's like a lubricant you get an inj. a week for 3 weeks....it took a long time but it did help. That was in Jan. now for the last 2-3 weeks I have been getting the pressure back in my knee and it really goes up to the middle of my thigh and down to the middle of my shin. It is a very strange feeling that is hard to explain. On the 18th my regular doc put me on a water pill and I did notice a big difference in the pressure. I did ask my ortho doc if that should be helping and he said probably.....Well...now the pressure is back...not quite sure what my next step would be. I REALLY don't want any more injections!! Any suggestions would be great!!

Re: Advise on problem with knee

I had the synvisc injections too!
had the 4 times (3 inj. each) yes they do help by replacing the cartlidge BUT they onlt last about 6 months so you are a little short of the time but everyone is different.
talk to the doc and tell him the pain is returning, if the inj. was in Jan. then you need to wait till August
sorry I can't give you better time frame, also the weather and your life style play's a big part too. I hope you aren't wearing the high heal shoes again, they are really bad for your knees
hope you are feeling a little better
As for me, I am looking at knee replacement later this year
