"I just had my second of injections, Monovisc and steroid, in both knees 3 days ago. I just got back from the gym. It was nice to have a painless workout. I would describe the injections as slightly uncomfortable, not at all painful. The first injections lasted about 4 months. In hindsight, I probably should have gone back for a steroid shot after 3 or 4 months. I may do that this time."

"I have been crippled with severe pain since I got this shot 6 weeks ago. I cannot walk, play tennis, or golf. It is swollen and burns up and down my leg. The surgeon does not seem to be concerned, but my life has been at a standstill. I got it to hold me over until my knee replacement in November. The pain is debilitating, nothing works. If I stand on my feet for any length of time, then the pain is severe. RA doctor has put me on a tapered heavy dose of prednisone, also not working. BEWARE!"

"I had Monovisc almost 2 weeks ago. I did not have immediate relief like with the steroid injection, but I am feeling slight improvement. I’ll update again in a few weeks, my doc said to expect maximum relief at 4 weeks."

"For osteoarthritis: “Amazing result for my knee first day. I have severe osteoarthritis in my knees. I received one full dose two days ago. I went to see my specialist. Treatment wasn't painful at all, just a little pressure. After 1 day of resting, all my old pain and discomfort was gone, but suddenly pain came back. I hope that pain will go away. It was nice to live without pain, at least for one day with no limping. I just hope that Monovisc will help me. I will post again in a few days to see what is going to happen. I am so tired of pain."

"Second time getting the injection in both knees; they also gave a cortisone/lidocaine injection, which helped. Lasted almost a year."

"I received 5 Monovisc injections so far, and the first one took my pain away for 3 months. With my last 2 injections, I was only pain-free for one month, I have to find something better."

"I got a painless shot at the end of March 2018, and I had relief for about a month. Since then (June), my knee has steadily worsened... pain, stiffness, waking up at night to apply an ice pack."

"Had pain relief within a couple of days, and it lasted for about 5 1/2 months. I'm now waiting for the 2nd shot scheduled for next week."

"Had shot 5/16/2017, felt instant relief after the 3rd day. As of 6/10/2017, I am noticing pain and swelling again. Sad... was hoping it would have lasted longer."

"The drug was painless, with no swelling after the first injection, but wore off in 4 months. SynviscOne lasts 6 months. I will return to that, despite pain and swelling the first day of treatment."

"Lasted years. Would like to get the same injection again, but cannot find a place to get it."
