synvisc injection damaged my knee

Guest over a year ago

Ask your general practitioner for a liver blood test; it would show whether any of the hyaloran escaped the knee capsule into your bloodstream. In my case, the specialist didn't drain the knee and the third injection felt like fire; the bastard laughed as I screamed in pain.

In less than a month, a cracked tooth ballooned into a cyst; both ankles broke that summer; my spine swelled due to occluded blood vessels and I've survived a heart attack. Clean before, my external carotid artery has significant blood flow reduction.

Hyaloran is an acid - the base is the antidote and I've seen elsewhere than the corresponding base it a treatment.

In my case, the judge noted that I have standing to sue. Will post updates as they arise.

I am using The Michael Brady Lynch Firm. They told me that there is a recall on the injections. Microbes contaminated them.

I had the same issue. Is there a pending class action lawsuit?

I had a Synvisc One injection the week before this Thanksgiving 2017. This was the first for this knee but previously had one on my other knee with success, so I was not concerned. I had the injection in the morning everything seemed fine, however, my knee swelled up and was unable to walk by the end of the afternoon. My husband had to pick up crutches for me, and we went back to the Orthopedic Surgeon the next day. They gave me a Cortisone shot as we were to leave in a few days for a cruise over the holiday. This did help after a few days but I was in so much pain and had difficulty getting around. I went back for my 2nd follow up today, and I was told that he was informed that this injection came from a bad batch that others had had reactions to also. I too, would like some answers from the manufacturer and what to do next. I am sure that I am still benefiting from the Cortisone injection and would like to know what is wrong with this batch and what the long term effect could be.

I just had my third injection on Wednesday Jan 3. My first two went well. the first two days I was kind of limping, as I usually would from knee pain. I was waiting for that moment I had the first two times, of relief. However, the third day I woke up with my knee being three times the size, swollen, hard, painful and can hardly get around. On day 5 of swelling now, no relief yet. So I wonder, can you get all three injections from different batches?
I have put a call into my Ortho Surgeon, but the more I read about side affects and possible reactions, I think it may not pose as very important to them. I have not walked right in over a year, I went to these injections to buy me sometime before I need to go back and do a partial knee. Any advice or help would be great!

My wife had same bad reaction,,they decided to replace her knee but when the pulled back the knee cap it was full of as sort of goo. They flushed and scraped it, sewed her back up and sent her home after 3 days in the hospital
In worse condition than before. That was July of 2017..she is still in terrible pain and lays in bed most of the time...someone should be held accountable!!! Joseph Hunn Independence Mo. Th Dr Orth for giving me an invalid...

I took the injections in 2013, didn't help me at all, still have swelling, pain and my knees stay cold all the time, no matter what I could sit out in the sun in 80-90 degree weather, they still are cold, the company said, that this is not a side effect from the injections, wonder if I have a good lawsuit here?

I got the gel shot 3in 1 around 4 weeks ago. I got it all in 1 shot. Recommended by my doctor. Swelling was bad first few days. Used ice. I can hardly walk. I thought it would b better. I have a good every great once in awhile but most time it is so painful to get up and walk. Very stiff.cannot hardly pull myself up steps. Shouldn't it be helping by now.

I had the injection a couple of weeks ago in both knees. Now my entire legs ache and it is hard to walk or get up from a sitting position. What causes the pain in my entire legs (muscles and nerves). Please advise. Does it go away????

Is it just your knee that hurts or your entire leg. My legs are aching and making it hard to walk or get up.

I was injected with supartz ( analogical hyaluronic acid substance, similar to synvisc). Surgeon Dr. did not cure the inflammation inside the knee and injected that supartz. After this injection knee is swelling for the last 3 months, so is the foot. Pain is continuous non stop night and day.
I believe that he locked the inflamation inside the knee by injecting that supartz, and he now suggest me a surgery knee replacement. Did he plan that result to make money on the surgery? I think so. He never offered me any conservative treatments until I pushed him to give me an order to physio. He does not listen to my explanations. He does not know the names of the medicine known for healing such staff. "Surgery" is his answer to anything.
