I suffer from low bone density and osteoarthritis throughout my body. My right knee has been extremely painful for the last ten years that has made it difficult to walk. I have received two of the three injections. Both injections were painful and after each injection my knee swelled up and the pain in my knee became worse. I have not had any pain relief yet from these injections. I am not looking forward to the third and final injection. I am hoping though that afterwards the cumulative effect of all three injections will give me some pain relief.Read More Read Less

pain on the 1st, 2nd and final injection. It has been a little over 2 weeks since my 3rd injection. I am in more pain than i was prior to any of the injections. Standing or any weight on my leg is now constantly painful. I wish I had just continued to live with the level of sporadic , but frequent pain I had, instead of getting the 3 injections which made everything so much more painful.

This was after only the first injection, I will be going back weekly for second and third, I'm very pleased, when I get up after sitting I'm not having to wait for my knees to catch up, delighted so far!Read More Read Less
