Discussions tagged “Monovisc”

I recently started using Monovisc injections for my osteoarthritis in the knee. The gel-like substance is injected directly into the joint, and supposedly, it should relieve pain and improve movement by acting like the natural fluid in the joint. I've heard it works wonders for some, but I've also heard about some nasty side effects, like allergic reactions. Has anyone else tried Monovisc? What was your experience like? I'd be especially interested in hearing from those who had to report side effects to the FDA or their doctors.
