I had a series of 5 Hyalgan shots 1.5 years ago and 7 months ago. Spectacular results, starting to have pain again. How many times can I have the treatments?
How many times can treatments of Hyalgan be repeated?

For those not familiar with Hyalgan, it was explained to me that it is similar to chicken combs and augments whatever is in the knee to cushion impacts.

The benefits of Hyalgan typically last for around 6 months.
The series of shots has been safely repeated in clinical studies for up to 30 months.

My orthopedic dr says there is no limit, as long as they are helping. I've had them every 6-7 months for the past 6 1/2 years and she just told me this two months ago. I get 5 shots each time, one week apart, then go six months from the end of that month (insurance reasons).
