1st synvisc today - - Posted by taxgoddess333 (taxgoddess333), 4 November 2004

Hey all,

Just got my 1st synvisc today and it was a breeze.  The doc gave me a shot of novacaine first which pinched a little.  But the synvisc was virtually painless; I never felt a thing.  Nothing like the cortisone, which hurt like a #*%.  It's been 2 1/2 hours and it still feels fine.  I'll keep y'all posted..... -R-

Great!  I hope it works well for you.
