im 33 years old and had two meniscus operations in the same knee and a small spot of artritis 2a3 where they removed a piece of meniscus 8 years aggo . I have had 4 single injections in moments where i had significant muscle loss in my legs because of not being able to excercise because of the pain or some other injury . everytime i had these injections it helped so much ... you know that crunching pain when you put your hand on your knee and you can feel it crunch... this dissapears over time because of this injection combined with working towards building your muscle . i was able to run 5 km with no pain after a week when i got this injection when a week before i could not walk of stairs or even walk whitout feeling pain . i never accepted a painkiller injection yet because i hear bad things about them so i tries this instead . i can definatly say it helps but i can also say that you have to combine it with excercise .. painfull for a moment when they inject because of my artritis but yeah it gave me a boost in moments where inwas not even able to sit on a bike . everytime i had some other injury though inbetween these injections wich keeps setting me back to 0 so right now im hoping 4 months in since my last one that i do not need another one . im confident if i keep going to the gym that i can achieve this but if the time comes where i feel i cant anymore because of the pain i will definatly buy another injection. to expensive though !

Thank you I really appreciated this, I’m a knee OA Patient ground your information informative and easy enough to follow . I’m on my second year of HA to both knees . My consultant has said I need to be mindful that the less effective the product will be will as my body will start to ignore it . I’d love to know What your thoughts are on the body’s ability to adjust to this this over time . Thank you

I ve been doing ha knee injections for 5 yrs
Amazing I actually went to dr they actually said looks like my meniscus grew. The first set of shots lasted 3 years. During Covid I had to get once a year due to working 16 hr days. It’s very sad the insurance companies don’t wana. Pay .
They always look for a way out so I get a prescription for dr and buy Canada pharmacy. Good luck ! This stuff works

Getting my first shot on Monday April 17th. This video was extremely helpful and has lifted my spirits in hopes of some pain relief and hopefully back to normal activities like walking, golf and some pickleball in moderation. Thank you.

my question is do you need to buy a specific product such as Synvisc One or can you just use 100% Hyaluronic acid?
I have 100% Hyaluronic acid and wondering whether I can use it for a knee injection.

Thanks so much for this video.While I obviously didn't catch all the technical jargon, I was able to understand the underlying message and conclusion I am a OA patient with perhaps candidate for surgery (so my surgeon says). Today I had my Monovisc injection, this is a 3rd injection and it works very well for me. I function very well with the single Hyaluronic injection. I have used the HA since 2016 due to removal of meniscus and this works for me. I am using supplements (and realize I'll need to increase my doses) to help build that cartilage while I understand the supplements are slow, if they work I'm ahead of the game...One big concern for me is: I have lower back issue of herniation L4, L5 & bulging and this affects me hip, my knee...will consider repairing the lower back before I tackle the knee. I have refused the Cortisone injections. Thanks so much for this video. Must interject...if OA is a DDD and will progress, at what point can you put off the TKR? I'm 73, and active in gym, fairly healthy except for my skeletal issues, osteopinia of rt hip, recovery later on in life would be harder to manage...so that's a downside of putting off this TKR issue and one I'm struggling with. ANY SUGGESTIONS? And I saw those x-rays, kind of look like mine (69yr old man), I'm a female...
