I have osteoporosis in my knees and degeneration in multiple segments in my spine. I had Kenolog 80 , I don’t know if I spelled that wrong but anyhow depression was a side effect and my former pcp had her nurse inform me over the phone that I was already on an antidepressant,in other words suck it up.
I am no longer her patient. I have just started seeing
a specialist in pain management at StMarys Physiatry.
Since it’s as hour and forty five minutes to get there we thought that we try the one shot deal.
Side effects that I have been experiencing are nausea, tingling,headache,muscle and joint pain flu like symptoms and extreme back pain.
I already have all of these issues and the Duralane has made everything worse. I had the Duralane injections last Wednesday following a Cervical Branch Block that did way more than I could have hoped for I am now waiting for the insurance company to approve a second one and then I will have to get approval from the insurance company for a Rizatomy. Then they will try the same for my lumbar spine. After that they will sort out what is left.
I am supposed to start water therapy June seventh and between my knees and my feet walking is torture.Actually my feet are a source of excruciating pain and no one has addressed this problem in addition to the pain they have been become so swollen and painful I can’t stand having anything touch them. I sleep (when I can) with my feet uncovered it’s better to have them cold.

I have a question for you - when you were given the Durolane injection, were you given any documentation of the possible side effects? Were you required to sign a consent form that contained a whole lot of information? The reason I am asking is that this is a list of the possible side effects of the injection:
Common side effects of Durolane may include:
warmth, pain, redness, stiffness, bruising, or puffiness where the medicine was injected;
nausea, stomach pain;
trouble walking;
swelling in your hands or feet;
back pain, joint pain, muscle pain;
numbness or tingly feeling;
headache, dizziness; or
runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
Remember, anytime a "foreign substance" - flu shot, antibiotic, or drug like hyaluronic acid is injected into your body your body is prone to fight against it - with the reactions listed above. Eventually, it says, "Oh, all right, go do your thing."
If you look at the Durolane information from the Website, the injection can take up to 2 weeks to begin working.

It sounds like you were unlucky, and got most of the side effects. If they persist, or you don't get any relief in the 2-3 week time frame, I suggest you call the doctor for advice.
