Allergic Reaction from Synvisc

I have rheumatoid arthritis in its early stage. I have visited a doctor and he recommended me to try with synvisc shots and some other non steroidal drug. After the first shot, some rash occurred on the stomach and hands. I also got throat itching and all of these happened two, three hours after the shot. Could this be allergic reaction from Synvisc?

I can tell you that Synvisc is a medicament excellent for dealing with early RA, and it consists of hyaluronidase, which prevents rubbing of the bones in the joints and that results in the lesser pain. Allergic reactions are possible, manifestations are throat swelling (lip too), uncomforting sensations in the throat, dyspnea. And there is also possibility that you might develop allergic reaction too the NSAID medicament you are also taking.
