anyone else have weight bearing pain after receiving a euflexxa injection?
about a month and a half ago, I woke up in the morning with my knee swelled to the size of a softball. I didn't do anything outside of the ordinary, except sleep with my legs elevated.
swelling didn't go down after a month so I decided to drain it and get an mri. 2 days later it swelled up again and I decided to drain it again. this time, the doctor suggested a euflexxa shot since my MRI showed slight bone on bone arthritis. I've been told I'll eventually need a partial knee replacement from numerous doctors.
anyway, swelling didn't come back and I was able to walk with little pain for 2 days. not a lot of walking though. less than a mile each of the 2 days. after that 2 days, my fat pad swelled up and the pain is much worse than prior to the injection. I have extremely sharp pain right at the fat pad when I weight bear and only when I weight bear.
I've never had to use pain killers except for on the day of my surgeries, but I've had to resort to 400mg ibuprofen a day just to be able to walk. pain is still there, but not as sharp.
anyone else have similar reaction? it's been a week of this excruciating pain.
