Do you mean Synvisc injections for you knee? I've not heard of Sysvia.

Gabapentin an anti-epileptic drug that is used off-label to treat neuropathic pain, the Celebrex helps with the fluid levels around your knee and to keep swelling down. Mobic is long acting NSAID, so that you can take a lower dose only once a day. It does the same job as Advil and other NSAIDS its just a one pill a day medication.

What about doing PT, low stress knee exercises and a TENS Unit are you using any of those types of Therapy?

I've had more success with physical therapy and water exercises. Celebrex can be helpful, in my personal experience. I also use some CBD hemp topicals for localized pain, which help a lot. I understand how bad knee pain is and have suffered for many many years. Wishing you healing.
