For Osteoarthritis "I moved to a new state so I had to change Doctors. I previously was getting Orthovisc shots a series of 4 , which worked great for me! But for some reason the new Doctor could not get Orthovisc and suggested Euflexxa. I had the three Euflexxa injection in October and now two weeks after receiving them I am experiencing locking knee, and knee buckling while walking . May need steroid injection now. I usually walk 2 miles a day . I’m going to fight for what worked for me so disappointed!"

For Osteoarthritis "I'm about to have my third year of Euflexxa shots. I'm 64 and am very active. I have OA and Synivitis in my knees. I generally work out 5 days a week. These injections have given me complete relief for 7-9 months every year I have had them."

For Osteoarthritis "I've had all three injections of Euflexxa, and my pain is no different. The pain in my knee is so severe I'm in tears some of the time, it's almost unbearable. I was hoping this medicine would help me postpone knee surgery, but it looks like that is now my only option. I had very high expectations for this treatment, I have several friends who had completely successful results. So very disappointed! The money spent was totally wasted."

For Osteoarthritis "I started experiencing severe pain in my right knee over 1.5 years ago. Doc told me is was moderated OA and I needed a replacement. He suggested the Euflexxa shots. After first injection I had no improvement. After second injection pain was markedly reduced and following third injection most pain was gone. It’s time now to treat this knee again along with the left one. Euflexxa has been a great alternative to surgery for me. Hopefully my insurance still covers it."

For Osteoarthritis "I'm going tomorrow for my third Euflexxa shot. I was told I am not bone to bone, but getting there. Severe arthritis in left knee. PKR is about 3-5 years out, so Dr's say (3 opinions). For a while, the NSAIDs worked, corticosteroid shots lasted about a month. Knee pain comes and goes and flares up and is worse each time. I am really encouraged that some have gotten years out of it. I am only 57 and like to work out every day, but my knee has held me back. The doctors have told me my knee is strong, I can't hurt it by working out. I just need to manage the pain and keep tabs on the swelling with ice. I felt 75% better after the first shot, the second hurt for a few days. Now it feels great. I hope this keeps getting better."

For Osteoarthritis "I had this before. Good experience. Help lasted 5 years. The only problem I have is to get 3 injections that are very, very painful. Don't understand why they don't give a local anesthetic before injection. Then I was getting Silvist injection, I love that because I only get one injection. My insurance company refused to pay for it. They are ........! I hope that one day they have to do this! Sorry, just my opinion. Doctors need to take a stand against these evil, cold insurance companies who refuse to treat the patient right instead of making them suffer. They aren't doctors, they know nothing about what I need. The people who run insurance companies have ice running through their veins, they are not human."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had issues with both knees for approx 21 years. I had my left knee replaced in Aug of 2014. I don't want to experience that type of pain again. So today I received my 2nd injection of Euflexxa, and I'm limping a little more than normal. However, besides today, I can tell a slight difference. I'm hoping after my 3rd injection I can get back to walking and jogging. It is driving me nuts sitting still. I'm afraid to gain any weight back."

For Osteoarthritis "I have completed my second shot on Tuesday and will be getting my third shot this Tuesday, and have not had any relief in either knee. Both knees seem exactly the same as before I had the shots. Over the past three years, I have had about three cortisone shots in each knee every year. That gave immediate relief, although only a temporary fix. I am hoping after Tuesday, I'll get some relief. The doctor told me to be patient for an additional six weeks."

For Osteoarthritis "I had basketball accidents in my teens. After 35, I have lots of problems and lots of pain. I do not believe in miracles, but this injection makes my life less painful, and over 2 years I do not have any problem whatsoever. Thank you."

For Osteoarthritis "This is my 2nd round of Euflexxa after the 1st round didn't work, it was decided that I should have arthroscopic surgery removing the torn part of my meniscus. Both times the side-effects were swelling, body aches, knees swelled and hurt. So I'm done with Euflexxa. My opinion - not worth it!"

For Osteoarthritis "I have had this twice. The first lasted me almost 8 years before I needed 2nd injections, and now over 7 years and still pain-free. I'm happy with that. Injections work better than steroids and cortisone shots. Hardly any side effects."

For Osteoarthritis "I have gone through 5 rounds of Euflexxa injections. The first couple, pain returned in about 3 months, then it went to 4 months, and now this last time it lasted 6 months. I still have pain when walking or standing, for I am bone on bone with both knees, but it helps bring my pain from a 10 down to a 4-5. I'm so glad for the Euflexxa, it is better than the cortisone with its side effects."

For Osteoarthritis "First injection on Friday. No pain. Could walk o k. Next day real pain to walk. Scale 1-10 (9) . Iced down and took Ibuprophen for pain. Most pain when trying to walk.. Now it's been 6 days and I've cancelled my scheduled 2 injections. I wonder if I will get back to where I was before the shot? I'm 83 female healthy ( retired nurse) I live alone and it's painful to get around. I read the success stories and wonder what went wrong for me? I also have a sore throats and joints ache and am more easily annoyed with my little dogs I've noticed. I wasn't advised any pain like this may happen. I believe it should have been."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had 2 injections, and I received relief after the first injection. I hate needles, but the shots are well worth the discomfort of the injections. I will be getting my 3rd next week. I wish I had done this earlier; it would've saved me a lot of pain and pill taking."

For Osteoarthritis "Amazing how quickly my knee pain disappeared. I have mild osteo and have had pain for the last 6 months. I just had my third shot 5 days ago. Some days I still do wake up with an ache in my knee and some nighttime ache. For the most part, it's been great. Hope it lasts. I have gone back to normal activities, i.e., tennis and elliptical at the gym."

For Osteoarthritis "Don't bother wasting your time with Euflexxa. I have been diagnosed with moderate osteoarthritis, and Euflexxa only made my condition worse. Now I am stuck with a sore back, I can hardly bend over, my limbs have no flexibility and are sore as heck. I don't get it. The treatment did not even come close to doing what it was described as. My doctor told me that the fluid only stays in your knee about two days, and then it is gone. It is not described that way on the Euflexxa website. It says it hardens into a gel, then forms a cushion between your bones. My experience is that this is NOT true. And how much am I paying for this??? Don't bother spending your money on Euflexxa. Your money is better spent on a partial or full knee replacement."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had the series of 3 injections two different times. It has definitely helped to reduce the dull ache and the inflammation. It seems to help me for 4 to 5 months and then the ache, pain and inflammation returns. It takes about a minute to receive the injection and I have had no side effects at all. I get relief beginning after the first injection. Not a wonder drug, but I would recommend trying it."

For Osteoarthritis "I took all three shots of euflexxa about 10 weeks ago. The shots itself were somewhat painful however tolerable. I have not experienced any relief from the pain from having had the shots done. I still have lots of swelling in my knee and I'm limping even more."

For Osteoarthritis "Just finished up with my first series of three shots of Euflexxa for OA. It worked great so far. I have no more pain or swelling in the knee. I am glad I tried the shots and will get them again if I need them."

For Osteoarthritis "My first experience with eu-flex a was almost 2 years ago . It gave me the much needed pain relief and joint flexibility to continue with my passions of trail riding , backpacking in the mountains and canyons, down hill and x-country skiing . It also allowed me to sit for hours while paddling my kayak without knee stiffness and pain. As it is not a permanent solution, I did recently receive my 2nd series of 3 injections as the stiffness and creaky knee was starting to return. Already I feel great and have a wonderful oiled gate instead of a rusty creaky one. Thank you to all who helped developed this active life returning medication"

For Osteoarthritis "I'm 44 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees with bakers cysts. Was told due to my age to try this as opposed to more drastic measures.. First shot was about equivalent to getting a cortisone shot in my knees, pressure but bearable uncomfort. A little sore the next day, week 2 & 3 about he same. Now I did just get a cortisone shot 2 weeks before starting the Euflexxa but I figure now I am about 10% of the pain I was feeling prior. I hope it's the Euflexxa and not the. Cortisone masking it. Knees feel better every day and still pop here and there. But movement is dramatically better. 6 weeks since my first shot and I'm impressed and happy with my decision"

For Osteoarthritis "After highly successful results (2 years relief per series) my insurance insisted on Euflexxa). Following completion of series of three shots, my previously comfortable knees are completely destroyed. My range of motion is very limited and walking long distances is painful."

For Osteoarthritis "I am a 32 year old female, in good physical health, weight, etc. I have severe osteoarthritis and it is the worst case my orthopedic surgeon said he's ever seen in someone so young. I opted for the Euflexxa injections, 3 rounds, painful injections, supposed to feel a difference in 6 weeks, it has been 3 months and my knees feel much worse than they did before the injections. I'm sure that has helped other people with knee issues but for me it has done the opposite, my knees feel more weak then they ever have and are constantly painful."

For Osteoarthritis "Six weeks since first injections in both knees. Have arthritis and tore the meniscus in both knees last Fall. Right knee is 90% bone on bone. First shots did not hurt. Second shots wow! How I got through it baffles me. Third shot, no pain just uncomfortable. I'm 47. Noticed a difference after first week; now we are 5 weeks out, right knee is stiff again and am having pain and problems walking. Left knee is hurting but nothing like before the shots. Am hoping insurance will authorize TKR for the right one. Am basically unable to do anything pain free."

For Osteoarthritis "Left knee arthroscopic clean up. Still bad. Steroid injection relief for couple months. Another injection with fluid removed and same. Can walk on even ground with little to no pain. Can not go up stairs still so try Euflexxa. After first of 3 shots I am in pain walking on even ground now. Worse. Back does not hurt, just knee on standing or walking. Don't know what surgeon will do about this. This knee looked salvageable so no replacement offered yet. Ironically, the other knee is totally bone on bone but has no pain. Was hoping to get thru summer without big surgery."
