This substance is then expected to stay, and even regenerate, in the joint providing the lubrication necessary to relieve pain resulting from arthritis, scar tissue from previous trauma, overuse,
The process is FDA approved, but not covered by insurance. There are many testimonials from patients which have resulted in, at least, partial success and a few patients have reported they are completely pain free. However, internet research shows some patients have not been helped at all and are calling this process a scam.
Does anyone have experience with this process? Any thoughts?

A good friend paid for this procedure and had no improvement whatsoever in her joint.
She didn’t say it was a scam. She thought maybe if she’d had it done earlier it might have worked for her.
Two years later she had the joint replaced.
