Hi, my wife has the same problem but with arthritis.
She is going in for a shot of Synvisc next Monday.
It is a series of three shots over a two week period
in the knee joint. It is a synovial fluid
that acts as a shock absorber between the bones.
It is supposed to last at least six months.
It is not a cure, just a treatment.

======================================================
And PLEASE note - Sir:

(a) Nobody's bitchin about the cost.
(b) Per the patient - it lasts 6 months.
(c) Knows how to spell Synvisc. And its not a cure.
(d) Nobody's asking about ABC or XYZ (cpt) codes.

And so on .... boring!<G>

Regards,

John
