Also, many have said that the side procedure is much better than the front procedure.
So, I am looking for advice from people that have had this done and a recommendation for very good surgeon, as well any other firsthand advice, like who to stay away from.

My goal is to get back to bowling and some golfing without the current pain.

I have first hand experience with Synvisc-One knee injections. My knee was diagnosed as arthritis as I assume yours is and painful beyond tolerable .Surgery was the option until mt as doctor recommended Synvisc. Long story short I have had 5 injection over the past 12 years , length of pain free varies but mostly 1 year sometimes longer. I am currently scheduled for another injection next week. I .am not familiar with any other brands or medicine but SynVisc-one . Google Synvisc - One for information
