Synvisc Knee Injections

Some Pain will drive you to measures that to most would be unthinkable.

If you are suffering and need help with your knee pain this was worth it!

 

 My darlings took off work today and accompanied me so I would not have to suffer the pain of driving.

I would HIGHLY recommend having someone drive you.

 

 This is the image of great courage that I find so much comfort in.

It is at the head of the bed that I lay on.

The following might be hard to look at...

Folks this will be done every Monday for the next two weeks.

Three injections in each knee total.

The Synvisc is now available in ONE dose injection, but it is too new for me to risk it.

We KNOW for me this is working and has kept me able to walk freely for two years.

I say free...bone on bone pain relieved.

I have been very fortunate that it has lasted 12-13 months the last two years I have repeated this process. Some folks will only get 9 months or so.

Even so people you will be out of that horrible personality changing pain.

 

 

 The skin is frozen and it is hard at first to tell which hurts more the freeze or the entry.

When the needle enters the joint however you know it.

My surgeon is GOOD at this he puts it in a little slow as to not over come the soul I own.

 

 The needle enters the cavity of the joint and the syvisc entered into the knee joint.

I learned that it also aids the moisture absorption as well as provides a synovial type fluid.

 

 Last year my left knee entered into the process.

It is showing signs of the same issue of a lack of cushion.

Bone on bone is some very intense pain.

I know in a couple of days I will be like night and day.

 

This is a courageous thing to do for yourself .

Listen if your able to get pain free (relatively) it is worth all the corage you can muster.

All of this took less that 5 minutes to be in and done.

5 minutes of pain and I will have to do it twice more over the next two weeks.

So 15 minutes of intense pain...for a years relief of intense discomfort and irritability, loss of function and not being able to be active.

Come on You can do it!

The fear is the worse part.

Do not let fear take away your mobility!

 

Tonight I rest and use ice on my legs.

I sit elevated and know that It will be so much better real soon.

I recently took a trip to Florida in fact got home last night.

I was in so much pain by the time I got home.

Well...I was actually looking real forward to getting this process started so I could get my mobility back.
