When you read this post, keep in mind I reported the first TV news report on Synvisc in Kansas City. On yesterday's ten o'clock evening local news a different channel did a medical news segment on Synvisc. The first report I saw about a month ago or so did a lead-in concerning people getting the same knee therapy that race horses now get. Yesterday the lead-in was "people getting a lube-job for their knees." The name Synvisc was clearly shown and clearly spoken to the viewer. They showed a young man whose knee had been injured years ago who'd had subsequent surgeries. They told how he couldn't tolerate steroids, had had steriods injected in the knee in the past. You could see the scars on his knees, I assume from the surgeries. They showed the physician first draining the knee of fluids with a syringe, then they showed the physician injecting the Synvisc in the knee. You could see the patient's face while this was going on. I'd say it was uncomfortable judging that the needle was large, but he seemed to tolerate it okay. They must have deadened the area of the injection. They even showed the consistency of the Synvisc between the doctor's fingers. This report originated outside of Kansas City. I taped the report, but haven't looked at it a second time. This was the Fox affiliate that showed the report. It gave me a good feeling knowing that word seems to be spreading and that it's interesting enough for new programs to give reports on the subject.
