Both my knees felt like new! 2nd injection I didn't feel the same, needless to say I had some disappointment because negotiating the stairs I had discomfort. Is this a normal reaction? I'm scheduled for the 3rd injection which will be 2 weeks out rather than 1 wk. Will this be a problem? Do the injections have to be every 7 days?
My 1st injection of Orthovisc coupled with a 1-time injection of cortizone felt like a mircle!?

ORTHOVISC injections are given as 1 injection for 3 consecutive weeks. It helps restore healthy joint fluid to cushion, protect and lubricate your knee joint. ORTHOVISC can relieve your knee pain for up to 6 months. Although individual results may vary, some people feel pain relief after the first injection.
It will not matter that your last dose is a week late.
