For Osteoarthritis "I had injections in both the right and left knees at the same time. The right knee did okay, but the left knee was absolutely horrible. Within 4 hours of injections, I had the most horrific reaction. The pain was the most extreme pain. I had painkillers, and it would not relieve the pain. It was so bad I wanted to call an ambulance. The only reason I didn't was because my bedroom is upstairs, and I couldn't make the trip downstairs. I knew the only way the paramedics could get to me was by breaking a 1500-dollar door down. So I kept taking more painkillers, and finally, after 7 hours, I had relief. Since the injections, I have severe leg cramps in both legs, wow, over the top! Itching over my body, bad lower back pain, RLS, and nausea. This continues every day. My legs barely move. Before treatment, I was walking 2 1/2 miles daily, and I'm 65... obviously, I had a severe allergic reaction. Would not ever recommend."

For Osteoarthritis "I had the injection on July 26, 2021, and I developed a torn meniscus. I didn't have an injury before the injection that required surgery. I do not recommend this injection to anyone. It is so concentrated that it doesn't stay in the kneecap, it spreads through the leg. Causing pressure, numbness, itching, weakness of joints, tingling in feet, and back and shoulder pains. I want this stuff out of my body, but the doctor that administered the drug is ignoring me."

For Osteoarthritis "Got my injection July 29th, 2021... I've always been able to walk off the pain of my injections. Not this one, right away the pain kicked in super bad at night. I waited a few days, every night the same throbbing, itching, and tingling. Not to mention the sore I got on my injection spot. I don't recommend this shot to anyone. I've had so many side effects and my knees are more painful than before I came. Muscle weakness, dizziness, weight loss, migraines, and numbness in legs and feet. Poor blood circulation... stay away from this shot... just say NO."

For Osteoarthritis "I got the injection for my hip last November 2022. I could barely walk for well over a week, which I was told is possible. I got a bit of relief for about 3 weeks before I went right back downhill. What I wasn’t prepared for is the horrible itching I developed about a week after the injection. For about a month, my eyes were swollen, red, itchy, and burning. Then my feet, ankles, lower calves, and hands, out of nowhere, started itching and I scratched until bleeding in my sleep. I get some relief from antihistamines. Here I am in May 2023, still itching and on antihistamines daily. For only 3 weeks of relief compared to these side effects, it’s just not worth it. I am starting to wonder if it will ever work its way out of my body. It’s awful."
