I was recently prescribed Pennsaid 2% Topical Solution for my knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. I've been applying it for a week now, and I'm curious to hear from others who have used it. How long did it take for you to see results? Did you experience any side effects? I've been trying to keep track of any changes in my pain levels and noticed a bit of relief, but it's hard to tell yet if it's just a placebo effect. I'm also worried about the potential side effects, like skin irritation or more serious ones I've read about. Any tips on how to apply it effectively or what to expect would be really helpful! I'm also curious about how it compares to oral NSAIDs I've tried in the past.

I've been dealing with knee osteoarthritis for a while now, and my doctor recommended Orthovisc 15mg/ml Injection. It's a gel-like substance injected directly into the knee joint to help relieve pain. I'm curious to hear from others who have tried it. How effective was it for you? Did you experience any of the side effects mentioned, like skin irritation or swelling at the injection site? I'm especially concerned about the urgent side effects like allergic reactions or changes in skin color. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
