I wish you luck with getting the insurance approval (they are really expensive shots...around $500 a shot times 2 for the both knees ...so $3000 for the total treatment for both knees). I also wish you the best in that this works for you. It worked beautifully for my . Debbie in Gig Harbor (170cm medial) ladybostons@... http://www.cafeshops.com/copsstore -----Original Message----- From: andrea My ortho doc suggested the Synvisc injections for me because I have a bone-on-bone situation in each knee. My knees are quite painful. Apparently it's a " liquid cartilage " and lasts for up to a year. Only one batch of injections per year allowed. Although it doesn't work for everyone, I don't think there are any nasty side effects, just three painful (I'm a major wuss) knee injections, three Mondays in a row. Will find out whether insurance approves them in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
