For Osteoarthritis "I am 28 and have done 4-5 rounds of Euflexxa. So far, it does help decrease pain levels and increase activity. However, this last round, in December, was extremely painful. I am hoping it was weather related, and not related to the medicine or to my knee getting worse."

For Osteoarthritis "I'm about to have my third year of Euflexxa shots. I'm 64 and am very active. I have OA and Synivitis in my knees. I generally work out 5 days a week. These injections have given me complete relief for 7-9 months every year I have had them."

For Osteoarthritis "Despite the reviews I read about Euflexxa, I received my first injection on yesterday. I was scared at first but I did it anyway. I have an excellent doctor. He explain everything before the injections. He said I would feel the initial stick and then pressure from the medicine going in. He also said I might have swelling, and pain at the injection site on the next day. I am please to report not only did I not feel the pressure. I did not have any pain or swelling at the injection site on the next day. When I woke up I had zero pain in my knee. I am glad I decided to get this injection. I can't wait to see what the second injection will make me feel like."

For Osteoarthritis "In December 2020, my orthopedic doctor convinced me to try Euflexxa instead of a knee replacement. By January I knew something was wrong; my knees were worse. I started to have joint pain in my wrists & shoulders. Dr said it could take 6 weeks, but by then my ankles & both feet were painful. I was mostly bedridden. When I saw him in February, he did bloodwork, saw my elevated inflammation numbers & told me I must have Lupus. He referred me to a Rheumatologist. They both decided that I have polymyalgia rheumatica but can't say that for certain. They say it was dormant inside my body & the reaction to the Euflexxa activated it. Neither believe I have had a bad reaction to Euflexxa. I am now on Prednisone, have started to slowly taper, but Rheumatologist wants me to start Methotextrate in a month. She says this is a permanent condition. I'm 69 years old. I used to make pottery, jewelry, garden, walk. I still need a knee replacement. I'm looking for a new Orthopedic & Rheumatologist."

For Osteoarthritis "I've had all three injections of Euflexxa and my pain is no different. The pain in my knee is so severe I'm in tears some of the time, it's almost unbearable. I was hoping this medicine would help me postpone knee surgery, but it looks like that is now my only option. I had very high expectations for this treatment, I have several friends who had completely successful results. So very disappointed! The money spent was totally wasted."

For Osteoarthritis "I had this before good experience.help lasted5 years the only problem I have is to get 3 injection that are very very painful. don't understand why they don't give a local before injection. Then I was getting silvist injection I love that because I only get one injection.my insurance company refused to pay for it. they are ........! I hope that one day they have to do this!. Sorry just my opinion. doctors need to take a stand against these evil cold insurance company who refused to treat the patent right instead of making them suffer .they aren't doctor's they know nothing about what I need .the people who run insurance companies have ice running thru their veins they are not human."

For Osteoarthritis "I'm going tomorrow for my third Euflexxa shot. I was told I am not bone to bone but getting there. Severe arthritis in left knee. PKR is about 3-5 years out so Dr's say (3 opinions) For awhile the the NSAID's worked, corticosteroid shots lasted about a month. Knee pain comes and goes and flares up and worse each time. I am real encouraged that some have gotten years out of it. I am only 57 and like to work out everyday, but my knee has held me back. The Doctor's have told me my knee is strong, I can't hurt it by working out I just need to manage the pain, and keep tabs on the swelling with ice. I felt 75% better after first shot, the second hurt for a few days. Now it feels great. I hope this keeps getting better."

For Osteoarthritis "This is my 2nd round of Euflexxa after the 1st round didn't work, it was decided that I should have arthroscopic surgery removing the torn part of my meniscus. Both times the side-effects were swelling, body aches, knees swelled and hurt. So I'm done with Euflexxa. My opinion - not worth it!"

For Osteoarthritis "First injection on Friday. No pain. Could walk o k. Next day real pain to walk. Scale 1-10 (9) . Iced down and took Ibuprophen for pain. Most pain when trying to walk.. Now it's been 6 days and I've cancelled my scheduled 2 injections. I wonder if I will get back to where I was before the shot? I'm 83 female healthy ( retired nurse) I live alone and it's painful to get around. I read the success stories and wonder what went wrong for me? I also have a sore throats and joints ache and am more easily annoyed with my little dogs I've noticed. I wasn't advised any pain like this may happen. I believe it should have been."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had issues with both knees for approx 21 years. I had my left knee replaced in Aug of 2014. I DONT want to experience that type of pain again... So Today I received my 2nd injection of Euflexxa and I'm limping a little more than normal. However, besides today I can tell a slight difference.. I'm hoping after my 3rd injection I can get back to walking and jogging.. It is driving me nuts Sitting still. I'm afraid to gain any weight back."

For Osteoarthritis "I have completed my second shot on Tuesday and will be getting my 3rd shot this Tuesday, and have not had any relief in either knee. Both knees seem exactly the same as before I had the shots. Over the past 3 years I have had about 3 cortisone shots in each knee every year. That gave immediate relief, although only a temporary fix. I am hoping after Tuesday, I'll get some relief. The doctor told me to be patient for an additional SIX weeks."

For Osteoarthritis "My first experience with eu-flex a was almost 2 years ago . It gave me the much needed pain relief and joint flexibility to continue with my passions of trail riding , backpacking in the mountains and canyons, down hill and x-country skiing . It also allowed me to sit for hours while paddling my kayak without knee stiffness and pain. As it is not a permanent solution, I did recently receive my 2nd series of 3 injections as the stiffness and creaky knee was starting to return. Already I feel great and have a wonderful oiled gate instead of a rusty creaky one. Thank you to all who helped developed this active life returning medication"

For Osteoarthritis "Amazing how quickly my knee pain disappeared. I have mild osteo and have had pain for the last 6 months. I just had my third shot 5 days ago. Some days I still do wake up with ache in my knee and some nightime ache. For the most part its been great. Hope it lasts. I have gone back to normal activities ie tennis and eliptical at the gym. "

For Osteoarthritis "I have gone through 5 rounds of euflexxa injections the first couple pain returned in about 3 months then it went to 4 months and now this last time it last 6 months. I still have pain when walking or standing for I am bone on bone with both knees but it helps bring my pain from a 10 down to a 4-5 I'm so glad for the euflexxa it is better than the cortisone with its side effects"

For Osteoarthritis "I have had 2 injections and I received relief after the first injection. I HATE needles but the shots are well worth the discomfort of the injections. I will be getting my 3rd next week. I wish I had done this earlier; it would've saved me a lot of pain and pill taking...."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had the series of 3 injections two different times. It has definitely helped to reduce the dull ache and the inflammation. It seems to help me for 4 to 5 months and then the ache, pain and inflammation returns. It takes about a minute to receive the injection and I have had no side effects at all. I get relief beginning after the first injection. Not a wonder drug, but I would recommend trying it."

For Osteoarthritis "Don't bother wasting your time with Euflexxa. I have been diagnosed with moderate osteoarthritis and Euflexxa only made my condition worse. Now I am stuck with a sore back, I can hardly bend over, my limbs have no flexibility and are sore as heck. I don't get it. The treatment did not even come close to doing what is was described as. My doctor told me that the fluid only stays in your knee about two days and then it is gone. It is not described that way on the Euflexxa web site. It says it hardens into a gel then forms a cushion between your bones. My experience is that this is NOT true. And how much am I paying for this ??? Don't bother spending your money on Euflexxa. Your money is better spent on a partial or full knee replacement."

For Osteoarthritis "I took all three shots of euflexxa about 10 weeks ago. The shots itself were somewhat painful however tolerable. I have not experienced any relief from the pain from having had the shots done. I still have lots of swelling in my knee and I'm limping even more."

For Osteoarthritis "I am a 32 year old female, in good physical health, weight, etc. I have severe osteoarthritis and it is the worst case my orthopedic surgeon said he's ever seen in someone so young. I opted for the Euflexxa injections, 3 rounds, painful injections, supposed to feel a difference in 6 weeks, it has been 3 months and my knees feel much worse than they did before the injections. I'm sure that has helped other people with knee issues but for me it has done the opposite, my knees feel more weak then they ever have and are constantly painful."

For Osteoarthritis "I'm 44 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees with bakers cysts. Was told due to my age to try this as opposed to more drastic measures.. First shot was about equivalent to getting a cortisone shot in my knees, pressure but bearable uncomfort. A little sore the next day, week 2 & 3 about he same. Now I did just get a cortisone shot 2 weeks before starting the Euflexxa but I figure now I am about 10% of the pain I was feeling prior. I hope it's the Euflexxa and not the. Cortisone masking it. Knees feel better every day and still pop here and there. But movement is dramatically better. 6 weeks since my first shot and I'm impressed and happy with my decision"

For Osteoarthritis "After highly successful results (2 years relief per series) my insurance insisted on Euflexxa). Following completion of series of three shots, my previously comfortable knees are completely destroyed. My range of motion is very limited and walking long distances is painful."

For Osteoarthritis "Female, 66 years old, OA both knees. Got no relief from cortisone injections so doc recommended Euflexxa. 1st injection was painful, and no relief noted. 2nd was more painful, and instead of relief, joint pain was worse. 3rd injection was very painful, and I am now at 3 weeks after the last injection and I’m feeling worse than before I started this. Joint pain in hips and knees, pain in calves down to ankles - getting worse everyday. I was really hoping that this would be beneficial and be able to avoid surgery. I see the doc again in 2 weeks to discuss what’s next. I won’t do this again."
