Osteoarthritis
"It&#039;s been 5 weeks since the last shot in a series of 4 Orthovisc injections for my torn meniscus. My right knee is now super swollen, and my pain is now Twice as bad as before the injections!! I drug myself up to get to sleep, but I am awoken each night/morning with excruciating pain!! I don&#039;t know what the heck went wrong! I&#039;m only 47, with bone on bone, arthritis, etc. Had surgery to repair meniscus, but it was torn again! Only &quot;fix&quot; the doctor&#039;s say is a total knee replacement. Trying to push it back till I&#039;m older, but I&#039;ve had problems with this Knee since 2008!!! Can&#039;t take it anymore! Am I supposed to keep waiting for something to happen miraculously? I ice it daily, exercise, stretching, hot tub, etc. Any advice would be great!"
