For Osteoarthritis "I have bad knees, walk my dog, garden, and swim. I had the first round of Gelsyn-3 and felt fine. The second injection hurt bad in my right knee. Took my dog for a little walk and two hours later my right knee hurt so bad I was dragging my leg. Four days later, I cannot bend my knee to get in the car. I will not get the third injection. Someone else was complaining about a headache, I also had one."

For Osteoarthritis "I received the Gelsyn-3 knee injections, one each week for 3 weeks. The first injection, my knees were sore, but I really didn't feel much different as my knees still hurt as before. I received the second injection, and that next day I began having more pain than I had ever had. I started hurting behind my left knee, which had never hurt me before. I felt fatigued and had leg and thigh pain at night that I couldn't sleep most nights. I really didn't want to get the third shot but was advised by my doctor that after the third shot, I should start feeling some relief. I told him my knees hurt worse than they did before, but he said that should go away, so I got the third injection. A few days after the third injection, my legs started hurting all over, especially at night. I had a headache, my lower back hurt, and I was just sick all over. This went on for several weeks. It's been 6 weeks after the injections, and my knees are no better. I would never do this again, NEVER!"

For Osteoarthritis "I had my first Gelsyn-3 shot 8-2-2019. I use a cane to walk. I know I had a bad headache, nausea, and my body hurt, I didn't feel like eating. My knee has no relief at all yet. Knee replacement is the last option. I pray that by the 2nd injection it will improve."

For Osteoarthritis "I am two weeks out following my third shot of Gelsyn-3, and I have had a slight pain improvement, but the bone-on-bone pain still keeps me from walking any sort of distance, like through a grocery store. I had a headache and back pain at first, but that seems to be subsiding. I am hoping in two more weeks, I will have greater mobility with less pain, but most of these reviews seem to be of a negative result, so I am discouraged. I was hoping these injections would save me from a replacement, but so far, I have not had full pain or mobility relief."

For Osteoarthritis "Earlier today, I had the 3rd dose of Gelsyn-3 in both knees. As in the 1st and 2nd injections, I developed a slight fever and headache, but this has really improved the pain in my knees."
