osteoarthritis
"Osteoarthritis is part of my life in hips, shoulders, ankles, and most of all those knees.   My knees are bone on bone  and cortisone (not good for long term) is not long lasting.  Noting the complications and side effects of total knee replacements, to say nothing of pain and rehab, I am not interested in giving up my golf and life for months.  My Ortho Doc  suggested Euflexxa a year ago and as a last resort, I agreed.  I had my third week of injections yesterday and all I can say is that I have had a HUGE improvement.   On a scale of 0-10, my pain was 9.9 and now I am at a minimal discomfort around a 3.   Hoping it lasts for the full six months.  It is wonderful to go up and down stairs forward rather than turning sideways."
