Your question this morning has made me realize that there
is a lack of understanding of the osteoarthritis problem
to some degree, and consequently, a big mis-understanding
of how IMPORTANT Synvisc is.

If you want, please take the following test. I think it
will shock you. And you will think I'm full of it.

Background Info:

NSAID's:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Examples:
Ibuprofen (Motrin and Advil)
Indomethacin (Indocin)
Sulindac (Clinoril)
Naproxen (Naproxyn)

The Test:

Select from these Answers Only:

A - NSAID
B - There is no medical problem of this nature

Q1 - FDA #1 category of adverse drug events is gastrointestinal
complications and it is caused by ?????

Q2 - #1 cause of blood transfusions in hospitals is because
of ?????

Q3 - These drugs cause 25% of the people who take them to
develop ulcers. ??????

Q4 - 20,000 people a year die from gastrointestinal complications
that come about from taking these drugs. ??????

Q5 - If you take these drugs your body CANNOT heal joints or
regenerate cartilage. ??????

Q6 - These drugs tend to WORSEN the rate at which there occurs
degeneration of CARTILAGE. ?????

Please do not ask me to verify this stuff. I won't.
But you might want to check it out.

Why does the FDA allow NSAID's?

Pain hurts, and until SYNVISC there really are very few
options.

You see, it is a MULTIPLE cure. It not only fixes the problems
but it also cleans up the mess we currently have
with NSAID's.

And this is really the big picture.

Regards,

John
