My first injection gave me generalized bodyache, but after the 3rd day it was absolutely wonderful, I am 49 years old, 120 pounds and 5'5, and I felt my legs extremely energized like when my knees were not injured. Then I went to the 2nd injection, when the medication was ejected in the joint, it was extremely painful. I had to have help to excert my self. I was not able to squat down. In the mornings,the posterior side of my muscles, below the knee, felt like it was shrunk down to a third. Every step was excruciating pain, especially when walking down just a few steps. Before the shot,I had pain in the lateral side of the knee. Now the pain is in the internal side of the leg, starting below my knee all the way down to my big toe. If I would have known this pain would have occurred, I would have never taken the second injection. My condition got even worse than before I ever had any injection. I am so devastated I have come to the bridge of crying and feeling crippled. I had the last shoot about two weeks ago and my legs feel very heavy when I take a step. Now I hope and pray for a miracle.

I have had problems with my knee for 10+ years and had Arthroscopic Surgery 6-8 years ago. Two years ago a started running and the last I was doing 4-6 miles 5 days a week. Two to three months ago my knee gave out and have been unable to run since. A friend mentioned I should look into getting the Orthovics injections. Do you have any advices for me?

Dears all,

Orthovisc is working very well. My experience and my physician's experience is very positive. Unfortunately, many doctors are making errors during the puncture. If you have side effects I am afraid the doctor is to blaim and not the injection. They must now how to do it. If not they provoce this kind of problems.

How are your knees now? I just had injections in both knees last Thursday, going for my second set the 26th, now I'm a little concerned.

How long has it been since you had the injections? How are you feeling now. I had the injections over the last 3 weeks. After the first 2 I felt great. I was walking everywhere. After the 3rd injection. I have pain in the knee again. I have a metallic taste in my throat and today, my muscles ache like I did yardwork for a week straight. I also have some anxiety. Please reply.
