Hi---
Well, I've had my Five injections, each a week apart.
The results are outstanding! Before, I could not even suppress a scream when
I would lift up out of a chair, or fall down into one.
Now, I don't even think consciously about getting up or down. The severe
pain is simply done and gone!

If I twist my knees, like scooting my chair sideways a bit, it will hurt a
bit, but nothing to scream about.
But for ordinary knee motions, the pain is just gone!
Nope, I don't even have to think about what kind of knee motion I'm about to
do, it is no longer a concern at all.

My knees feel a kind of tiredness, but maybe that's because of the invasion
with the needles. But nothing bad.

If the problems show up again in a year or two, I'll definitely get some
more injections to "top off" the lubricant in my knees.

Someday I have to learn how to spell Hyalgen correctly <g> but right now,
I'm just a happy camper.
I'm not going to do something dumb like go for a 5 mile walk, but I sure can
get around the house, shopping centers, and everywhere else, just great.

I've had allot of surgeries and stuff that improved things, but left big
side effects, but on this proceedure, I can't see any down side or side
effects at all.

I don't mean this to sound all flowerery and stuff, but I am really a very
happy camper at this point.

Best to all---
Ron

 I did not think you were or did.  Happy is good.  Nearly no pain for
awhile is good.  Enjoy today and we will worry about tomorrow when it gets
here.

toast in celebration.<smile>  way to go, ron.  very nice to hear!

Hi,
I am a lurker - am trying new addy to see if it works.
I had my first Hyalgan shot on Monday.  My knee has been still sore
since, but the doctor warned me not to expect results until after the
second one.  She is just doing three shots.  Will that do the same as
the five?

I haven't been here for a while, so will submit an update separately.

Retired for two months and love it,
especially those two hour breakfasts
with the newspaper. By the way, change the
FISH to S to email me.

A couple of years ago I had the Hyalgan shots in both knees, three
shots each.  My doc said it was the same amount of stuph as the five
shots just two less injections.

Thanks, Betty,
The way it felt going in, I figured as much.  Well, we'll see how it
goes.  History on me coming tomorrow, if I can fit it in between the
beauty shop and the replacement glasses that came in.

The only question I have is how did I mangage
to do all this and still work 10 hours?
Throw that FISH back in and put in an S
to email me.
