Hi everyone, to answer your questions; no I am not getting synvisc injections nor acupuncture to either knee, my surgeon nor therapist never mentioned acupuncture or injections to me. At this point I am so afraid of letting anyone do anything else to me right until I can get some relief for this left knee. Yes all this was done by the same doctor he said if he does not get the results he is looking for he is going to refer me to another surgeon for a 2nd opinion. Yes I will keep you all informed once I get my results from the test.

@lynnwade54 I am pretty sure that synvisc could not make anything worse and it could really help to have one leg that feels better. If this has not come up with your surgeon you might want to ask him. It honestly did wonders for my knee. The only caveat being that if you do schedule a TKR on that knee at some point you can't have any injections for a certain amount time prior to it. I can't remember if it was 3 months or 6 months. For most people this would not be a problem because their orthopedic surgeon would be the same doctor who you would get shots from, but I go to one doctor for simple things like that, and I went to a different doctor for the TKR, someone who had an impeccable reputation and who used the Conformis knee.
