Euflexxa knee injections

[Saltine]

Anyone have any experience with the stuff? After 3 knee surgeries (same knee), the doctor wants to try it. Actually I am getting it in 9 hours. I can't sleep after reading some webMD reviews. I figure I trust people on here way more than random critics. I'll probably have gotten the first of the three injections by the time someone reads this. Worth a try though.

Didn't help me at all! But you never know!

Did you have any bad reaction?

[Saltine]

Whell, I have had cortisone injections that hurt worse than that. No bad reactions yet. Just a little bleeding. At least my insurance is paying for them.

I tried cortisone and lubricant injections. Don't remember the name of the lubricant injections. They helped some but not a lot. My last injection in May was with titanium and plastic.

I like either the black or gold. Matzuo still seems to have dimensional issues the the eye and leg from bend to eye. The hooks are sharp and a bit bigger (hook gap) than standard EC or Mustad so you may need to provide some mold relief for the hook point. I never had a breaking issue but did have a lot of off location or incomplete eyes with a few batches,

I hope it working out for you! I feel I'll eventually be in that situation. Mine all started from a horrible break, that severed my ACL from both ends. It's been one thing after another since then.

It's a lot better than my old knee but I don't think it will ever be as good as a real knee in good shape. I'm walking about 2 miles every morning and it has gotten better but I still have some problems with some pain and stiffness in it. My left knee has been giving me trouble for about 17 years and had been bone on bone for so long I had worn about a half inch of bone off the outside part of the joint.
I reached the point that the knee was getting so crooked it would get out of its proper position and pinch up the nerves. I said May in my previous post but meant March. I'm about 6 months from having had it replaced. If you end up getting it done push yourself in the therapy or it will never have any flexibility.

That was key when I got my ACL replaced! I chose to use a cadaver ligament, rather than have them harvest from my hamstring. The grafts have been holding up well, and the stability is great. Now I'm just dealing with the pain of missing cartilage, and meniscus issues.

The injections helped me. I have had no injections in 2 years. I have some pain, but, at my age, everything hurts.
