Question
A friend of mine was telling me of a new injection for the knees,,,I have OA….Two years ago I had a series of five hyalagan injections ,and I got pain relief for almost 8 months! It was the next thing to heaven…only the five shots were a little painful…Any way, I was just wondering if there has been any new developments, in the way of visco supplemention? My knees are painful, but replacements are out of the queston for a while.
Answer
There are several new viscosupplements to hit the market. Since they have never been compared head to head, it is difficult to tell if they are any better than the older ones. If hyalagan worked, I’d likely stay with it.
