I wish I researched IOVERA like I normally do everything else
I had it done last Friday and wish I never did it
Besides the pain of having it done the PA hit something and I have such swelling and black
and blue and now spider veins appeared ...I feel as if my whole leg is in an activated electrical outlet and a
huge hematoma

I was scheduled for knee replacement on July 17 but I am cancelling it ....this is enough for me...

My advise is to stay far away from it ...

I am actually having Iovera 12 days before surgery...I researched it a lot on websites, etc. I also sought out an orthopedic surgeon near me who has done tons of TKR's and a lot of the Iovera injections..I think I would have been a tad afraid to have a PA do it since only the surgeons know the knee, inside and out..etc. BUT I can, obviously, tell you more after the injection in late August! I'm sorry for your pain! I am more afraid of the recovery since they only give a nerve block that lasts 8 or less hours and the surgery is so brutal..Again, so sorry about your experience!
