Wife needs both knees replaced but pushing it out as long as possible (but not out til 2014 when Healthcare Act kicks in!)

Gone the same route - cortisone then Synvisc...just had 2nd round of Synvisc.($975 per knee- before health plan reimbursement)

When I saw this thread I asked her to comment. Here goes:

- Not painful at all.
- Not perfect but helped her a lot...2nd round attests to both above statements.
- EXPensive!
- She will do one more round to further stall replacement operation.

Next area of mixed opinions we hear is one knee at a time of both together. She's planning to have 2 done together and have only one rehab.

Hope this helps...at least one pereson here who has a good opinion of the shots!
