Osteoarthritis - right knee - synvisc
I have
osteoarthritis in my right knee. I had a
steroid injections two
years ago which made my pain much worse about 4 months after the
injection. Later I had 3
Prolotherapy injections,
(Watch where do
Prolotherapy injections go and do they hurt?)
4-6 weeks apart which helped
a lot. The prolo reduced the stiffness and improved the stability.
Then I got greedy and had two
Synvisc injections and had an allergic
reaction which resulted in bad swelling in my knee. About 2 months
after the swelling went down I had 3 more Prolo treatments. My knee
is still not doing as well as it was after the first series of 3
Prolo treatments. Could the Synvisc injections be inhibiting the Prolo treatments? I have recently had ultrasound treatments which
I'm going to stop because they are making the pain worse.
Dear Synvisc Reaction: You need to determine is your condition a
degenerative one or an inflammatory one. It appears that the synvisc
caused you to have an inflammatory knee condition. I would get
CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid
factor, and ANA blood test. These would test for inflammatory knee
conditions. If you have swelling in the joint, have the doctor send
the fluid for crystal analysis. You may have
pseudogout. In our office if we felt
that your condition was degenerative we would change the solution
and possibly change the frequency of
Prolotherapy injections. Also make sure you
aren't doing any stretches or exercises that are hurting the repair.
