Comment:
My lateral leg felt like acid was eating my nerves and flesh. I've had rapid muscle atrophy following the shots as well. If you start to feel pain from this, consider the fact that you may be allergic. My doctor dismissed my reaction and it cost me. My knee joint feels good, but it wasn't worth a month of intense agony.

No pain relief at all in my case! Very expensive drug and no reimbursement from my medical fund! (Pacific Blue Cross in Canada). Have heard that the manufacturer offers a partial refund but my doctor does not know how to go about this! Any ideas?
