I had an injection by my DR.'s PA and it hardly hurt and lasted about 5 weeks. Next one the DR. gave it to me and only lasted about 2 weeks. Now I'm having a lot of pain can hardly go up and down steps, and I only have 2 to get into my house. I need help with only 2 steps. The injection I had they said I could only get it every 3 months. What is the gel that is given?

You need to check with your orthopedist as to what your shot contained. There are different injection substances, the shots I have gotten in the past are Sunvisc- Rooter Comb. Can't say they ever helped. Sometimes painful during the injection and pain at the site afterwards. Medicare pays.
I'm searching for an alternative, thus asking about PRP injection therapy-Medicare doesn't pay for these.
