IOVERA for Knee Pain

Posted by leilaninurse @leilaninurse, Aug 16, 2023

I had a partial knee replacement 13 weeks ago, and I am experiencing severe Vice- like and burning pain. Many appointments later I’m scheduled for IOVERA next week, but I’m not finding anything that’s positive about it. Has anyone experienced positive outcomes???
Please help!

Hi I found shoulder cortisone shots really helped. I supposedly have two torn rotator cuffs hut now I haven’t had an injection in over a year. I realize everyone’s body is different but pain is pain! Hang in there!

A miracle for knee pain relief for me was a corticosteroid shot, Zilretta. I was rejuvenated for 3 months. I go easily get off the ground. Medicare paid for this injection in both knees. However--------- after 2 months my hair began falling out all over my head. I could run my hand through my hair and end up with a handful.
Vanity put an end to this shot. I'd rather put up with the pain than go bald. About 5 months after the injection my hair began re-growing and got back to it 's original volume within a few years.
