For Osteoarthritis "My doctor indicated I could no longer get cortisone injections and suggested the Monovisc. Ohip does not cover the cost of $790. I was in so much daily pain and sleep deprivation I gave in to getting the injections in both knees. What a mistake - the first three days I had so much swelling pain and stiffness I couldn't even get around. It is now a month later and I am struggling daily with the pain and stiffness I was in better shape before the injections. My neck, back and hip is hurting due to hobbling around. I have called my doctor and begging for cortisone for some relief. I need sleep."

For Osteoarthritis "Got the Monovisc injections in both knees in the morning. By the evening, I was in so much pain, I thought something had been botched. The swelling was incredible, and I couldn't walk without 2 canes. The next day, the swelling had come down a bit, and one knee felt no better than pre-injection, and the other still felt much worse. After a few days, the swelling has now come down, and both feel a bit better than pre-injection. The doctor says that it will take about 2 weeks for the pain to subside, then things should be stable for a while. I am looking forward to getting around without my cane!"

For Osteoarthritis "For Osteoarthritis: “Amazing result for my knee first day. I have severe osteoarthritis in my knees . I received one full dose two days ago I went to see my specialist. Treatment wasn't painful at all just little pressure. After 1 day of resting , all my old pain and discomfort was gone but suddenly pain came back. I hope that pain will go away. It was nice to live without pain at least for one day with no limping. I just hope that Monovisc will help me I will post again in few days to see what is going to happen I am so tired of pain"

For Osteoarthritis "I have used Monovisc about three years ago and pain free for a year and a half. Switch Doctors and tried Orthovisc injections which is given once a week for 3 weeks. Had head ache for 3 weeks and knees stayed stiff for 4 weeks. Could not play golf. Lasted about 9 months though but did not like the initial procedure. Tried Durolane which was terrible. Head aches, knee pain and only lasted 2 months. Went back to my Doctor and requested Monovisc. It has been 5 days since my injections in both knees and no head ache and slight discomfort, stiffness in both knees which is gone in four days. Looking forward to a year and a half of painless knees. I see people complain about pain full injections. That is because the Doctor is in a hurry or doing a poor job. A good Doctor gives injections pain free."
