I'm 3 years out from my Synvisc injections after my OS suggested this about 2 months following arthroscopic knee surgery after an injury. I had a life-threatening adverse event/reaction to Synvisc. Most of the symptoms lasted WELL over a year, and I still deal with some. IV chelation & IV nutrition therapies, as well as specific homeopathics SAVED MY LIFE and have helped to restore my health. I still deal with some of these symptoms, especially if I go too long without chelation. I've come a long way since this first started, but it's been a LONG, HARD-fought battle to get to where I am today. And EXPENSIVE. Consider this BEFORE you consent to Synvisc injections for knee pain or when your OS suggests that you're a good candidate for these injections. You're likely a better candidate for Ozone injections that actually heals the joint and prevents knee-replacement! [I am not a doctor and nor do I profit off of ozone treatments. Just a person who went through hell physically and emotionally following Synvisc injections.]
Is it worth years of this:
a] debilitating fatigue
b] periods of breathing difficulties
c] racing heart and cough
d] Sticky skin & sticky inside of my mouth
e] loss of coordination and balance, and some short term memory
f] Dizzy spells/passing out
g] persistent tremors throughout face, chest and arms
h] brain tremors -- feels like the vibration of an idling car
i] Intense acid burning that started with the knee injection, and burned down through the lower leg.
j] The intense burning then moved throughout my body and entire nervous system, including my brain. It was unbearable in the first several months
k] Random body jerks and pressure in my chest that started with the injection.
l] Numb arms, hands, legs, feet
m] Body trembled uncontrollably
n] OVER THE TOP chemically sensitive since injections
o] I had extreme tightness behind the knee for weeks, Baker's Cyst was ruled out

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm the anonymous who posted the "thank you!" comments on your December 2009 article. I've followed your blog since then hoping for an update on your progress. I'm happy to hear you've found something that helps and are doing better. May you continue to improve all the time.
I had a Baker's cyst develop after another idiot doctor gave me a steroid injection (in the absence of any arthritis) and that was worse than the original knee pain. I did end up having arthroscopic surgery but have continued to have problems. I'm not a jock, so I didn't get the attention or IMO the level of treatment that they did.
Thank you again for disseminating this information. Keep the heat on this!
Thank you for checking back in and for your kind thoughts. There are definitely still tough times, but my good times are outnumbering the other. That's a huge praise!
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful to my doctors who really care and seek to do no harm. They are the ones who've made my road to recovery possible, along with many prayers.
I'm not sure where you live, but if you can get to an ozone physician, I know it will help your knee to heal.
This link will help you find one nearest you. It's worth the travel! YOU are worth it!

I'm so glad to help others keep from going through what I went through. It was pure hell on many levels.
Stay in touch!
Hi, my 77 yr old active mother was having chronic knee pain and was told her knees weren't bad enough for replacement. She had these shots--last one two weeks ago and she is much worse than she was! Yesterday the physician ass't told her to use a cane! This is a woman who goes to the gym, exercises, etc. Dr. won't see her until the end of the month. She refused a cortisone shot. They gave her celebrex. Do you know of any lawyers looking into this? If I had researched and found out about this, I would have warned her not to do it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust got 80cc drained off my knee 48 hours after my 4th synvisc injection: 1,2,and 3 no problem but had adverse reaction this time. Wiped out with fatigue and nausea. Wish I had done more research first! Thanks for this blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT alone in wishing on the research prior to consent! After 3.5 years of extensive IV nutrition therapy, my health is much better. It was a LONG and painful journey back to health! Many have never returned to their prior health.
ReplyDeleteAnd people need to be aware that the possibility of an adverse reaction INCREASES WITH EACH INJECTION!!!
ReplyDeleteDON'T BELIEVE WHAT "THEY" SAY...I did, and paid long and hard for it!
