Comment:
I have bone on bone arthritis and am waiting for surgery. On my right knee the shots made me feel like I had a DVT in the lower leg. The pain is no longer the sandpaper grating on the bone surfaces but diffuse over the entire knee making it more painful even when not active. The left knee still swells significantly at night. I would not do them again or recommend them to anyone.

Comment:
I've had hyalgan injection in my back and both of my knees. It has not help. Infact, it seen that my pain has become worst. I've spoken to my doctor about it. He suggested that I take a second round. I am afraid if it does not work I would be in worst pain.
