I had both knees replaced at age 72; the first in Late August 2024, the second in early October. I also had IOVERA in both before the procedures. But I note that all the horror stories here are from people like me who had IOVERA in both knees. Did anyone have it in one knee but not the other? It's hard to compare their complaints with what would have happened had they not undergone it. I wonder, for example, how much of their symptoms may simply be due to the nerve damage that necessarily results from the surgery...they cut away a lot of bone and soft tissue when they did our knees.

I still have numbness in both knees; stiffness in both joints, especially along the IT band. I use a massager for the IT band (but not over the joint) and it helps. But I also have shooting pains along both knees and muscle spasm at night. In all I don't think that I'd undergo IOVERA again, but that's now moot.

Best to all here.
