Did you have the Synvisc one injections? I am not a candidate for knee replacement I am in excruciating pain between pain mgmt. injections every three months. I recently was informed of the Synvisc One injection by a friend her mother takes them and highly recommends them. Thank you!

Hi @terrietime4, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are having severe pain with your knee. I had several cortizone injections prior to getting my right knee replaced. I did ask about the Synvisc injection but was told at the time it wouldn't help me. There is a newer discussion you may want to read through and see what other members have shared.

I did find some information that may answer questions you might have.

You mentioned you are not a candidate for a knee replacement. Were you told why you were not a candidate?
