I had read all of these reviews prior to my 1st injection which was yesterday. I was nervous for nothing! It was the easiest and fastest medical procedure I have every had. A little pressure but absolutely no pain. I went to work immediately afterwards and can already feel a difference. Still some pain but is greatly reduced. Acutally looking forward to the next 2 in the series!

Have had two injections in each knee so far. The injections were a bit painful but quick. I did experience "some" immediate relief. I agree with others when I say I was little sore after the injections but that went away after a day or two. I'm encouraged that as I complete the series things will start feeling a lot better.
