Yes!! I have boat boat in my right knee. It was recommended. I have IOVERA procedure because I cannot have surgery currently. The IOVER a procedure itself was not painful however, since I had it I have had paid from my day to my mid thigh. It feels like lightning is striking the area. It is dub, similar to lidocaine. However, it does not wear off. It is a constant it has not improved by D paid for boat on boat. It has just increased nerve paid that I did not have before. The doctors are not giving me any clear cut answers. They act as if it didn’t even happen. You are not alone.

I'm still having the effects of it and it's been 6 months. It improved some but after about 4 months it seems like it's permanent. My doctor had a "family emergency" the day after I had it and I have not heard from him since. The nurse said to give it 3 months (give or take a day or 2, she said) when I called with unbearable pain shortly after the procedure. I have not called back and it's been 6 months. I don't trust anything they would tell me. Regrets??? Oh, yeah!

Been to physical therapy 4 times, but still pain and stiffness.
How are you doing?
