"This was like a miracle. I had zero pain for over a year maybe closer to two years. No side effects at all. Now insurance won't approve. Stuck with steroid injections for now which barely do anything."

"Got the 3 injections beginning 8/14. No relief so far. Disgusted. Cortisone shots worked for 7 yrs. but only for 2 months. Would get more shots at 3 months. Don’t want knee replacement."
