Osteoarthritis
"I&#039;ve had both the cortisone shots and the Synvisc-One.  I believe they were equally painful, the Synvisc maybe slightly more, as the fluid seems to be quite a bit thicker so there was noticeably more pressure.  However, it&#039;s been well over 6 months and I haven&#039;t had any pain.  I&#039;ve recommended it for my father and would recommend it if the normal cortisone shots don&#039;t seem to work any longer."
