I had my first orthovisc injection yesterday and almost passed out from the pain. It was horrible. I am not sure I want to go back for the 2nd and 3rd shots. Please advise.

Orthovisc is an injection in the knee for osteoarthritis...
Thanks for the help. Orthovisc is for arthritis and I get the injection in my knee. It is not supposed to help until after the 3rd injection and then the pain is supposed to be gone for 6 months or more. I, too, almost passed out from the pain. I probably will continue because I do have kids that I need to run around with. Thanks again and I hope you feel better.
I think I answered your question already. Did you ask twice? I printed out the reactions. Just go to Drugs A to Z or type in the name of the drug in the search box & it well give you all the info of reactions. Pain is one of them. Good lck...
Yes that is your best bet if you think or feel you can endure the injection pain to have 6 months almost pain free with your kids then I personally believe
that you should keep having them. I want you to know that it takes a very brave person to endure severe pain, I for one am proud of you.
I hope it lasts the 6 months keep me posted.
