Hi Everyone,
I am suffering since a slip and fall on ice in 2018 where I broke both knee caps. Prior to this fall, my knees were fine. I have had tons of physical therapy over the years. On march 7 of this year I had a clean out of the left knee which had developed a bakers cyst. Now both knees are causing such grave pain I cant stand it. Nothing seems to help. I was now offered Visco Gel Injections. I would like to know your experiences with the gel shots. Thanks in advance

Hello @kathleenanne1

I have had the gel injections in both knees, at separate times, and found it helpful. My knee problems were a result of arthritis and not a result of a severe injury like you experienced. If you are experiencing serious pain, it certainly might be worth a try.

Are you inclined to give it a try?
