Talking Synvisc
I have a friend who has had the injections a couple of times (Synvisc?). It seems to help him for a while.

In my case, I had a torn meniscus 10 years ago and suspect osteoarthritis in the knees also; however I have succeeded in remaining pain-free with an anti-inflammatory diet and taking glucosamine/chondroiten ever since the original injury. Of course I'm limited by not being able to run/jump or walk very fast ......... but no drugs, no inflammation & pain-free is a good thing
