@contentandwell I see that you were able to get the synvisc shots. I tried to do that for both knees ( not at the same time) and my insurance refused to pay for them. I found that to be very frustrating. I will be scheduling my left knee this week.

@ssbionicknee I'm surprised that your insurance would not pay for them, they are such a common thing now. I am on Medicare. I do know that they will only pay for them every six months or something like that, but that worked out OK for me. There are other brands of Hyaluronic acid injections also. Perhaps they are less expensive and insurance would pay for one of them.
Here is an article from the Mayo site:
