Ray, I get shots every 6 months and have been for several years. When I am at the end of my 6 months I start having pain in my knee and difficulty walking. I can feel my knee grinding as it bends, if I can bend it at all. The difference it makes getting the shots means the difference between not being able to walk and walking without discomfort (even though it's not for long distances like I used to). I am very happy with these shots. Before I started getting treatments for arthritis (including cirrhotics in my shoes) I was actually using a scooter to get around if I needed to walk more than a few feet at a time. I don't use one now. Huge improvement. I hope you see that kind of improvement also. Good luck to you. I'm going to continue as long as insurance pays and as long as it continues to provide some kind of relief of symptoms.
