Am thinking about trying synvisc for my Knees, is injected directly in to your knee over the course of three doctor vists,one week apart. Has any one out there tryed Synvisc? There is a web site: [url]www.SYNVISC.com[/url]

I've heard of this. Do you have arthritis?

yes in both knees,making it hard to get up and down, hope the injections help

You might want to look up prolotherapy; I had it done to both knees (although my problem was athletic overuse, not arthritis) and am pleased with the results. I think it can be useful for arthritis as well

I hope the injections work for you if you decide to get these. It makes it difficult to exercise/walk if our knees are hurting so much.
