IOVERA for Knee Pain

Posted by leilaninurse @leilaninurse, Aug 16, 2023

I had a partial knee replacement 13 weeks ago, and I am experiencing severe Vice- like and burning pain. Many appointments later I’m scheduled for IOVERA next week, but I’m not finding anything that’s positive about it. Has anyone experienced positive outcomes???
Please help!

I had TRK on February 6, 2024 and had IOVERA therapy 2 weeks prior. My insurance did pay for it. Now my incision is healed and I have to believe the treatment did spare me a lot of pain. My knee is still slightly numb on the right side of the right knee cap, but that was expected at this point.

After a year i was told the nerve on right side of kneecap was cut. It may regenerate. It seems to be getting better now.

<p>I just saw a commercial on TV about Iovera, an injection for knee pain. I looked it up on the internet and it is reported to last up to 90 days. It may be covered by Medicare.<br />Both my knees have had issues for decades but in the last 2 months the left knee pain is limiting my activates.<br />I would be grateful for any first hand information on this injection.</p>

Because I have CRPS knee replacement is out. I just had my third zilretta injection. It works for me. I have problems with cortisone but the slow release in zilretta works for me. Medicare will only pay for 2 in a life time. Fortunately my private insurance with prior approval paid for my third. My pain management doctor calls my knee toast but thankfully zilretta allows me the ability to bend it and walk more normally.
