osteoarthritis
"I've been using Orthovisc for 3 years.  The pain during injection was minimal, no biggie.  For my last set of shots I used another doctor. (Both doctors are rheumatologists.)  The shots were very painful.  Needless to say that next time I am going back to the first doctor for my next series.  I know knee replacement is in the future for me (both knees) but so far I am having very good success with the Orthovisc though I must admit that each time I do it it’s not as successful as the last.  Well I guess that only stands to reason but let's face it,  with therapy and Orthocisc I've been able to postpone surgery for 3 years and still counting."
