Knee Osteoarthritis
Need a recommendation for a Practitioner/Group that administers knee injections of agent such as Hyalgan or other viscosupplement.
Hubs will need same as his knees are not yet in need of replacement and this is his current treatment regimen. Do urgent care centers offer cortisone shots to relieve knee pain? Thanx for any recommendations.

I also got a cortisone shot for a shoulder from Villages Health, but from one of specialists. You do not need to be a member of Villages health to use the Villages Health specialists. I went to an orthopedic surgeon, Stephanie Silberberg.

Although I can't recommend a place to get the injections referenced at or near the Villages, I can tell you that I had them up North. I don't want you to falsely get your hopes up, they are a short term solution at best. Doctors push them because they get kick-backs from the pharmaceutical companies that profit greatly from the shots. They may give short term relief to people that have mild osteoarthritis (still have a fair amount of healthy cartilage), but if you have bone on bone in the knee, they will do little to nothing to help. These injections are usually something that just buys a little time before the inevitable knee replacement that we are all desperately hoping to avoid. Here is wishing the OP the best of luck.
