For me Zilretta is kind of like a miracle! I was having severe knee pain and had the injection one month ago. I had positive results within the first 24 hours. No more pain no more swelling little to no stiffness. I would recommend the treatment to all!

I was receiving Synvisc injections every 6 months for a couple of years with great results. Only a day or two of recovery time, minimal pain, massive relief of my symptoms and it slowed down the spread of the arthritis in both of my knees. My insurance stopped covering Synvisc and my doctor pushed for me to use Zilretta. I couldn't walk for over a week after the first injections. The relief was okay for a couple of weeks but then wore off. Have had to get the shots every 3 months, same result each time. Now I'm experiencing even more pain and stiffness in my knees then what I had before the Zilretta. Some days I cannot fully straighten or bend them. Walking up/down stairs is excruciating. I've been getting Zilretta injections since August 2018 and I can honestly say that my arthritis symptoms have gotten much worse as has the pain in my legs. Going to see if there is something else out there because the slight relief for a brief period of time is NOT worth the time spent unable to walk or be in pain. And the worsening of my symptoms is extremely concerning. Would love to know if others are having the same problems with this medication.

After numerous corticosteroid and hyaluronic injections in rt knee my doc recommended Zirletta. I did get relief for 2 mos but then all of sudden very much more pain in knee (felt like fracture in lower leg before subsiding somewhat). Told now need knee replacement.

Four years in with OA of knee. The knee is more painful as a result of shot. No long lasting pain relief. I couldn't kneel on my knee, the knee cap hurt. I had better luck with just corticosteroid shot. My Dr. was pushing the shot as the end all. Not so much. Not sure I am ever getting another.
