I suffered a rare side effect to this drug and I will never use it again. I went from painful knees to horrific pain from my hip to ankle in both legs. I lost my ability to walk and had chills, fever, headaches and nothing would help. The doctor prescribed a prednisone pack and it is helping but I still have a long way to go and not sure I will ever be the same. Almost 3 weeks later and I stil ... Show Full Comment

Almost 3 weeks later and I still have to use a walker and still taking prednisone. My energy level is as low as it can get and my immune system keeps trying to rid my body of synvisc. If I could only go back. Be very careful taking these injections and stop immediately if something doesnâ??t feel right at any time in the process.

At 56 years old I run 8 mikes every day and 26 on Saturday. My knees hurt and I thought I would never run again. Three runners on my team had this injection and said it works. I had it 8 years ago. Immediate relief and still today I run pain free.

I had the 2nd of 3 injections in my knee the Monday before Thanksgiving 2019 and by Thanksgiving I could no longer walk. As of 1/18/2020 I still can't walk!! This Drug should be off the market before it hurts someone else!! There are other injections that work that don't have issues like this one does!!

Had my first synviscone shot over two years ago and lost about 15 pounds over a year ago. Feel like my knee is brand new. I was in extreme pain 24/7 and my ortho recommended we try this before knee replacement. It’s been a total game changer for me! I recommend having an ortho do the shot to avoid potential issues with improper injection placement. It was less painful than a cortisone shot. It too ... Show Full Comment

I recommend having an ortho do the shot to avoid potential issues with improper injection placement. It was less painful than a cortisone shot. It took about 2 months to feel the full relief, but my goodness, what a difference. It’s worth a try! I’ll keep doing them as long as I can to avoid knee replacement.
