osteoarthritis
"I have a meniscus tear in my left knee which hasn't bothered me much till this year due to all the shoveling I had to do.  My knee was aching with sharp pain for weeks which led me to my Doctor.  He gave me a shot of cortisone which didn't do much.  He spoke to me about Orthovisc which is a series of 3 shots within 3 weeks consecutively.  I had the 1st shot last week which wasn't too bad.  After the shot I had pain for a couple of days, it really didn't feel like I was getting any relief.  I went back for the 2nd shot 2 days ago.  I had pain for the day and now today 2 days later I have no pain at all.  Nothing.  My pain is gone.  This medication is definitely working for me.  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these shots for everyone with knee pain."
