Shot one of Synvisc in each knee today, 2nd round next Monday and the third round the Monday after. I sure hope I get some relief out of this.
NoDo they have something out now that actually lasts a while?
lol Well I hope it lasts as long as possible.
There must be a young person that would run you around in your vehicle for a few bucks? After all, it would be a means to an end. Once the knees heal.....All good again.If I was married or had a live in girlfriend I would take the winter off and get both replaced. But I hate asking for rides living in the country so I’ll die with bad knees probably.
My single, childless friend/customer broke his leg and had to "hire" a family to take care of him before the hospital would release him. Yes, you can hire a family. I think he spent 4 weeks in the hospital before he was released.If I was married or had a live in girlfriend I would take the winter off and get both replaced. But I hate asking for rides living in the country so I’ll die with bad knees probably.

Gotcha'If you don’t know me by now I’ll let you know two things about me. I don’t think you will find someone as stubborn and bull headed as I am. Two I don’t ask anyone but God for help.
Hand controls for the black Duster? (during surgeryrecovery, lol)If I was married or had a live in girlfriend I would take the winter off and get both replaced. But I hate asking for rides living in the country so I’ll die with bad knees probably.

John, I used to get annual synvisc shots for about 5 years. They gave me a lot of relief, and I could tell when I was ready for another shot. Hopefully you will have the same results. The only problem was that they worked great for a few years, but the last one didn't do much so I quit. Now I just grease up with voltaren every morning.
It is a gel you rub on your knees. Not sure if it is just a Canadian thing.

Make sure you follow the directions. You need to control the dosage just like any other drug. I would be using gloves to "grease it up".I googled it and put it on my wish list and waited to see you you posted again. Thanks
I may go ahead and get some.
The regular strength is 1.16. Make sure you get the extra strength 2.32.
Trying to keep my own knees myself
1 word-
OUCH.
