I been doctoring with my left knee for some time now.
Treated for a Baker's cyst with a shot that helped for awhile.

Now after having a CT scan, it's showing my knee is rubbing on one side and my doctor suggested a "Gel Injection" under my knee cap.

Anyone have experience with this treatment?

Thanks

Go for the robo-knee. I went that route about four years ago; tore up my arthritic knee playing tennis. Doc had me jump through all the hoops: Cortisone, laparoscopic surgery, PT, etc., When I asked him if they will help he said no..they may help temporarily but at best they are a band-aid. The problem is that my insurance wouldn't pay for the total knee replacement unless I jumped through those preliminary hoops first.

Wasted a lot of time going for things I pretty much knew wouldn't help. But I got the total knee replacement and it was the best move I ever made.

407-355-3120 Dr Nguyen , don't mess with the rest, go to the best, he originated side procedure, he knows his stuff!!!!

I had Dr Dinh who is in with Dr Nguyen. They have an office in Wildwood. Surgery is done in Orlando. Side entry. Quicker recovery. I’m happy.

I had my knee switched out by Dr. Timothy Van Delour and everything went great. It bent 110 degrees the day after surgery and was great in about 4 weeks.

Reread my post.
I'm not having my knee replaced or any major surgery.

My doctor suggested I should have a gel injected behind my kneecap for pain and I'm asking
if anyone out there ever had the procedure done and if it worked.

Th injection didn’t work for me, but I was bone on bone. I can go one further and tell you I paid 6K for umbilical stem cells. They were a waist.

Several friends had all sorts of fillers injected into knees.
Some helped and some didn't.
They all finished up having knee replacements.
I chose to cut out all the temporary fixes, and went straight for replacement.
Definitely one of my better decisions!

I did. Lasted a couple months.

I have not personally, but do know 2 people who have had it in both knees and it did not work at all in one of the friends and the other said it only provided a very short relief of maybe a few weeks. So I am not impressed as a nurse.

Worked great for me., go to Dr Williams in the villages John T. Williams, Jr., M.D. - Advanced Orthopedics Institute

Over the last 10 months I had 3 jell shots & 1 cortisone by "The Knee Clinic" . 1 gell shot by Dr Williams, 1 cortisone by my primary care dr in The Villages. They only offered temp. relief. Went to Dr Dinh on 8 Dec, looked at my x-ray and ordered an MIR. Had the MIR done after waiting 7 days for approval by United Health. Had app't with Dr Dinh on 20 Dec in Orlando since Wildwood office shut down and he read my MIR. Got schedule for knee replacement earliest possible which is not until 11 Apr. I am counting the days in pain!

I had the gel injection it helped for a short period until the knee replacement. Honestly if your knees are that bad replacement is a great option, I also had the cyst which was removed when knee was replaced!
