Synvisc - If the drug will work, is it individualized? How soon do you see results?

Synvisc works great for most people (in the knees). Usually once it is injected in it begins to cushion the joint. It may take a bit for all the inflammation to go down but most people notice some difference just due to the cushioning effect right away. As far as how long for all, or most, of the inflammation to go down varies in everyone. Go for it! It may keep you from needing knee surgery for a while longer!
