Just let me start by saying I almost didn't get the treatment becasue of the reviews I read on this site. I am a 50 yr old women that loves to run. I had my knee scoped 2 years ago and am now bone on bone and was looking for some relief. My Dr. suggessted Euflexxa. I was excited for the chance of running without pain. Then I started to do research online and everything written was absolutely terri...
I am preparing for this Euflexxa and quite frankly I am more nervous than before reading the reviews on this procedure. I had surgery on 11/26/10 and I am still inable to function. I can barely walk and the pain is so intense I wake almost nightly to screeming out in pain. I know that I have to try something, I can not continue in this pain and on pain medications. I am a heart patient and diab...

This treatment did not help my knee pain, period. The injections were painful, although that may be the nurse's fault, and she stabbed bony structures, and probed around during the injection. The pain never diminished, for me, and I still face knee surgery. Additional swelling and inflammation were the results I had with this medication. I'm sure it works for other people, but for those in my condition (2 past meniscectomies), I doubt that it is at best a very temporary palliative.

Euflexxa worked for about 2 months but then I started to feel the pain again. Then I found out that it it shorter acting that the other medicines. A different Dr recommended Synvisc, but I had to wait 6 months before I could get another set. Once I got Synvisc it worked much better. I am going on one year and walking as much as my cardiologist wants me to!

I am on my third round of Euflexxa. The pain is completely relieved once I get to the fifth or sixth week. It has lasted about five and a half months then the pain starts to come back slowly. I call the doc and get another round and I'm back to being pain free in a few weeks.

This has kept me pretty much pain free for over a year now (multiple doseages). I had been considering replacement and tried this on a reach. It has made walking so much easier.

I hurt the day I received the injection, but it decreased the overall pain by 25% the first week. And got even better after that.
