synovisc?

[snapdragen]

I had three injections a few years ago, it really seemed to help my bone on bone knee.

ok I am biting the bullet and getting the synovisc injection on Thursday. I am already waking screaming from dreams of a surgeon chasing me with a needle, much to the disgust of the two cats and to the dismay of the SAG guy whom apparently I hit and wake up. Here's hoping its worth it. On the other hand anything other than constant pain at about a level 6 both on and off the bike would be a change.

fingers crossed for me please.

thank you everyone for your input and wishes. It turned out to be pretty much of a non event as far as my fears of maniacal doctors and pain went. Yes it was a horse needle but I avoided looking at it and when it started to hurt the SAG guy was there letting me squeeze his hand. I have had much worse. Aside from being fairly inactive for 48 hours I am good to go. The next month will tell the story as it builds up in my knee but I have good hopes.

Thanks again for all the support.

Glad you got it and over with. Now hopefully it will kick in properly and see how much fun again it is to have a "pain-free" knee for a while. So you were able to get the 1 shot deal instead of the 1 every week for 3 weeks? If I go back one day, I'll ask for that one dose only.
