Which gel injection did you have? I had Gel One injection a week and a half ago, and it wasn't painful at all. Ultrasound was used to guide where gel went. Did your doc use ultrasound?

I've also had a hyaluronic gel shot in the knee at Duke sports medicine. They also use an ultrasound to guide. Great local anesthetic. Absolutely no discomfort or pain.

I have heard is a gel injection. What exactly is it? I’m going through the start of arthritis in both my knees. My meniscus is frayed and my Cartlidge is then it was very painful. I just had Cortizone shots in both knees. My right one is doing well, but my left one is still a problem I have heard of hyaluronic acid injections and not sure what they do or if they’re any good so I’m interested in what these gel shots are also just learning about everything I can do because eventually I’ll be going on bone hopefully not too soon in a few years at least good luck tomorrow.

Which gel injection did you have and, how long were you told that they would last.
I am thinking of having Arthrosamid injections as I was told by a friend that they were amazing pain relief that has lasted for years.
