I had surgery in Jan '71 to repair a bone chip, torn ACL, torn MCL, and torn cartilage. Over the year it has always given me some problems but six years ago it got so bad and swollen that I couldn't use my leg at all. Doc wanted to do knee replacement at that time but I opted to try Hyaluronan injections instead. The first series (five injections) of Hyalgan® injections lasted for six months. The second series worked for nine months and the third time lasted 2 1/2 years. Two years ago they switched to Synvisc® which uses three injections. They have lasted a year between problems. I just started my third time with the Synvisc®.
I realize that my knee is messed up much worse that yours but I really don't like surgery if I can avoid it. As long as the injections keep working for me I'll stick with them.
Unfortunately the injections don't work for many people. My sister tried it for cartilage problems and had no relief at all. She ended up with a replacement knee.
