Painful Knees

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative, "wear-and-tear" type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people, too.

Treatments

The pain caused by osteoarthritis can by relieved by an injection of Synvisc-One into the area. The injection supplements the fluid in your knee to help lubricate and cushion the joint, and can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief. If you have not received enough pain relief from change in diet, exercise and over-the-counter pain medication, Synvisc-One could help.
