I have had great success with Orthovisc injections and have been able to put off replacement surgery for my bone on bone knees for almost 9 years. The first few rounds I got every 6 to 9 months but haven't had to have any for over 2 1/2 years. I am far from having the knees I did in my 20s but am able to do most of the things I need and like to do without too much pain. Motion though is somewhat limited but not a major impediment. I take no type of pain reliever and have not needed any physical therapy for years. I do exercise in the pool daily. Now if only I could lose weight is feel even better. We have used Orthopedic Institute for several other things and have been very satisfied with the Drs but sometimes hard to get a hold of the staff over the phone.
