Synvisc Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
It has helped but it caused swelling in lower legs and feet.
Working / Worked
Unguided injections. Raging reaction but no improvement.
Working / Worked
I had the Synvisc One shot. Working ok. Pain has gone down 50%. Others have stated the shots were painful. They should NOT be painful. Freezing spray and a numbing shot before the synvisc shot should be done. I will say the Synvisc one feels like a lot of fluid being injected (knees pressure builds). Needle was in my leg for a good minute or so.
Working / Worked
Very painful injection but it worked well relieving the pain in my knees.

My insurance would only pay for one series, did help for about 1-2 years.

It has helped but the injections are so painful
Working / Worked
Had a series of three shots in each knee about 18 months ago, need to do it again.
Working / Worked
5 sets of 3 on the left knee and 2 sets of 3 on the right knee
Working / Worked
Yes I believe I have had 3 or 4 series of the injections in my right knee. And yes this did help. This was after surgery for a bucket handle meniscus tear.

    Well, I had Synvisc shots this Christmas. Unfortunately they didn't help. It's my third set of Synvisc injections. It's a lot of money to spend on so... [More]
