Synvisc in the Hip .............................. First time I have read about it used in the hip. Regards, John ============================================================ Subject: Re: SYNVISC From: Kelly English <kelly@idmail.com> Date: 1998/02/18 Message-ID: <34EAF198.E4CD20C5@idmail.com> Newsgroups: alt.support.arthritis [Subscribe to alt.support.arthritis] [More Headers] Just to add to LadyAndy's post. It has been used in Canada for a year or so and is most effective when used early on not in the later stages of OA. There is a doctor having good luck injecting it in the *** hip *** in North Vancouver I think. That would be a major development if it worked. Kelly

Synvisc ... Satisfied Customer ........ Relief after 1st shot. Note:It is implied someone told him it should last at least 6 months. Regards, John ========================================================== Subject: SYNVISC From: bmullin1@aol.com (BMullin1) Date: 1998/02/17 Message-ID: <19980217165901.LAA16431@ladder03.news.aol.com> Newsgroups: alt.support.arthritis [Subscribe to alt.support.arthritis] [More Headers] I had my third shot of Synvisc yesterday. I noticed improvement the first week. It's far better than any cortisone shot (which I had to give up because of kidney stones.) At Christmas, I could not stand still for more than 30 secs due to pain, and used a cane when I left the house. I now go to the Mall without a cane. I can climb steps (the knees flex without pain), but are weak due to months of not being used. I hope it lasts the predicted six months!!! Bob
