Osteoarthritis
"I&#039;ve been getting Orthovisc knee injections for over 11 years, although not last year, 2015 due to no work time off.  Recently moved to Charlottesville, VA and just had my 3rd, final, injection today, 8/4/2016 (good for 6 months).  Found best orthopedic yet (I have a steel rod, torn ACL, no cartilage, bone on bone, bone spurs, left leg, started in &#039;98 with broken tibia).  The PA at UVA, Nick, best yet, yes stings, and you feel the pressure of additional fluid for first day.  Well worth it and looking forward to wakeboarding next week, and longer hours on the slopes snowboarding this coming up ski season.  Makes a huge difference, and has always.  I&#039;m 51, too young for full knee replacement, and not sure I want to go through that anyway."
