KNEE ARTHRITIS - Injections into the joint :

synvisc problems - - Posted by sallys (sallys), 28 January 2004

I had 3 synvisc shots in knee and have experienced severe muscle thigh, calf, and ankle pain -  the last shot was 10/23/03 and the pain is still existing.
I have been to orthopedic, internal medicine, and arthritis specialist - all blood work was normal.  Pain started two days after first shot.  Has anyone had this same experience?

I had my third sunvisc injection in 1999, and am STILL in pain, and unable to walk very far. Have since had partial kr, to no avail...still problems
