"first injection no pain, 2nd hurt and 3rd injection had me in tears! Still no relief from pain and burning in my knee. Both knees are bone on bone no cartilage left. 2 more injections to go but not real optimistic at this point. :("

"At first it was working after I got done with all the injections. A few months after I started accumulating alot of fluid on my knee that has not went away and it's been 9 months now. Now the pain is back and I'm 33 having trouble going up and down stairs. I car say I don't recommend it but i suggest doing research and asking questions."

"Hi, I've had the cortisone shot and found it did more harm then good by my chiropractor. I have arthritis in both knees and no cartridge in my right knee so the pain is horrible when it's cold and raining; basically amy weather change. My first experience with supratz was the 5 series injection in 2017 and so far it's been a year now and the pain has returned mostly in my right knee. My doctor informed me I could start back getting them if needed and I opted to wait until closer too the fall and or winter when the pain is at its worst, the shots lasts for a year but I still limp at times and now wear knee braces to keep from falling which is new to me so I may have to go sooner but overall a very good product. Yes I really had to stay off my feet for 24hrs to let the medication work."

"August 2014 I had supartz shots in both knees. Before having them....I asked the Dr about allergy reactions and he said he never had any one have a reaction....very safe. A few days later I was in the E.R. because I was having an allergic reaction, so we had to cancel the rest of shots. Amazingly, the one shot helped quite a bit and the following year I lost a lot of weight which has helped my knees greatly. I have managed to control my knee problems with physical therapy, essential oils and creams and fish oil. I think for someone who doesn't have a lot of allergies like me.....this could be a good product."

"My wife tried to find out from Lourdes Hospital "How much are these injections? " Insurance billing claimed "Oh your Blue Cross covers it!" Had to get 3 injections, once a week for 3 weeks. Injections weren't painful or helpful. Have patiently waited, for Dr said sometimes it takes awhile. No IMPROVEMENT, In fact knee is WORSE. But worst pain was the C O S T!!! Could have gotten 1 SYMVASTIN injection, that cost my wife $1,200 instead of 3 injections of the miracle drug SUPRATZ for ,get this .....$6,600 !!! That's right people $2,200 an injection & my knee is so very very MESSED UP!"

"May 16, 2017 was my last injection everything seem to be going well did not have discomfort was able to walk without limping so much. But then in the middle towards the end of June 2017 I started having severe pain unable to bear weight and my knee has really really been killing me having trouble bending. Morning getting up it's very difficult when I get myself going I'm OK but still with a lot of discomfort unfortunately for me I don't know how long this injection was supposed to help but I'm in pain I'm looking at a total knee replacement.. I will definitely be making a doctors appointment with my orthopedic but I'm waiting for after October because that's when my son is getting married so I'm going to have to deal with the pain . "

"Began shots in Sept 2019 going for fourth shot this week. So far I have notice nearly no difference in the pain in my right knee. In the mornings it is terrible pain and no sleeping at night. Hoping this will work for my knee. Do not want a knee replacement."

"I just finished with my 5th injection in my left knee, can not walk today. Pain after injection was like having a scope done and walking on it immediately after. Hoping to find some relief soon. Not looking good.."

"I had a series of 5 injections 2 years ago and have been pain free until about 2 months ago. I saw my doctor and he recommended a knee replacement. I'm 54 years old so I'd like to hold off, if possible so we started another series of Supartz and I just had my 2nd one. Praying it will work as well as last time!"

"I received five Supartz injections in each knee in February of 2020. By the end of April I was immobile and sick. I believe I had an auto immune response to the injections. My initial symptom was shortness of breath- similar to the MS hug. Over the following year, symptoms if varying degrees, came and went- including: severe, widespread joint pain, shooting pain in random bones, fatigue, loss of muscle strength, stabbing pain in eyes, incontinence, inability to walk, dizziness, and sensation of frozen ground glass, on my backside when sitting. I have been tested for many, many diseases due to the symptoms, and have proven negative for all. July 2021, I'm beginning to feel normal again. I now lack muscle strength from becoming inert, fatigue easily from lack of mobility, and STILL have the pain from osteoarthritis, which the injections were supposed to address."

"I have terrible osteoarthritis everywhere and I have been getting these injections in my knees for 6 years now. I do a 5 week series every 6 months and I think they are the best injections. No side effects and after the third set I can run or rollerblade and have zero pain. They last about 4 1/2 months or more. I am so happy with them."

"AMAZING! I have gotten these injections for a few years..my knees are bone on bone..immediate relief! I have nothing but good things to say! I can walk out, after hobbling into the doctor. You must repeat every 6 months or so, but it cushions my bones and I get the fastest relief! I can straighten me leg, after such pain..so grateful! No side effects like a steroid! Highly recommended!"

"Bone on bone with lots of pain. Just finished my 5th and final injections in both knees . Feeling 100% better than before. Cannot believe the patients talking about the pain from the injection, as I felt absolutely NO Pain while receiving the injections. (Doctor sprayed a cold spray before the injection). So glad I had this done, and looking forward for many months of relief!"
