Any Experience With Orthovisc Knee Injections

Patient is near 80

Has advanced osteoarthritis on left knee

Was approved for:
Orthovisc 30mg per two milliliters
One shot per week for four weeks
Shot to the left knee


When I go to WebMd some people say
- knee was swollen to size if basketball - had to go to ER
- after few shots they can no longer walk


Places like WebMD, Mayoclinic show this shot is full of promise

But people share their own experiences

Please share your experiences and what precautions you woukd have taken

Patient is looking for new knee Dr. The office is quite short staffed (lot of former patients said the same) and sometimes short tempered.

Not trying to second guess Medical Doctors but Patient is quite concerned. He wants to do this before TAVR for heart aortic stenosis
