Simvisc - Varying Degrees of Relief
Those did not help me or my 89 year old mother. Neither provided much relief and we both suffer from "bone on bone." After years of knee pain the progression of medications from: Gabapentin, Cortisone injections, Simvisc to finally a knee replacement. None of them provided long term relief and was usually short term. The surgery (Dr Duke) still did not provide 100% relief and eventually that knee replacement was done a second time by a different orthopedic doctor.
Good luck. Worth trying simvisc injections everyone is different.
