osteoarthritis
"I've been getting Orthovisc injections for 12 years, I'm 52, just had first of 3 again this am.  Makes big difference for me, and has.  Tried another brand, 3 shots in one, yikes and didn't last.  Yes the 3rd shot more painful, and yes feels a bit wobbly at first after each injection but gone within a day.  Still snowboarding, hiking, paddle boarding, wakesurfing more than wakeboarding (that is impact).  Thank you for orthovisc.  PS side note, have a reputable orthopedic with great PA's who mostly do the injections.  It can go crazy painful bad with that long needle."
