Osteoarthritis
"I just started my second round of Orthovisc.  The first round was administered by the surgeon and was tolerable.  I had my first shot of my second round last week by a Non Operative Orthopedist because the surgeons within this practice will no longer perform shots and this first shot was unbearable.  My knee is killing me so much worse than before the shot.  Not sure I will continue tomorrow for the second.  I have been bone on bone for 4 years and they refuse to operate because of other under lying orthopedic issues.  I really cannot say it was super beneficial the first time but wanted to give it another try being in severe pain.  I think it depends on the individual as everyone is different."
