I had my 2nd injection last Thursday today is wed. I go back tomorrow for the last ones. Friday I was in so much pain and swelling. I waited to late to call the doctor. Sat my knees were so swollen I had been icing them all night also. Sat the pain was in my hips and low back. I low fewer of 99.9. At this point the pain was so bad I could not stand up too much painn. I had some pain pills I had not used from something else I took them to be able to walk to the bathroom.Sunday pain bad. Monday I call the office the nurse said he was in surgery all day but it's all normal keep taking the pain meds and ice them. I told her I feel something just isn't right. She said if he calls she will tell him but he is going to say the same thing and do the shot on thursday. I felt just horable.I am afraid to get them tomorrow. I can't sleep the pain is so bad I have to use a cane to walk the pain is in my shoulders now and I get short of breath. She said that has nothing to do with it or the fever I have something else going on. I don't think so I was fine everything started after those shots on thursday. The first ones caused itching around the injection area they told me it was the numbing spray he used. Funny I have right where the needle went in is a bump thar itches stared yesterday.I feel it all needs to come out and I would feel better. The pain is so bad. The swelling has gone to my ankles also. I don't know what to do they said they are giving me the shots. I am afraid to get them. I can't live in this pain the knee was in noway it's bad. This pain is unbearable.

I have been slowly recuperating from arthroscopy twice over the last 7 months. Th last step which should have enabled me to participate in sports again was the killer. Injections of syndics to both knees. Its been over 5 days, still swollen, one is hot, can no9t straighten my better knee without severe pain, can't bend the swollen one. This stuff needs to be taken off the market. I too am interested in a class action law suit. Sports have been my life, now I am crippled!

Hi, I see these post are from a few years ago but did anything come out of the lawsuits? I recently had 3 synvisc injections and my knee burns where the injection was given a few weeks ago. Sometimes the burning is worse or minimal but still there.

I just had both my knees injected with SynVisc on August 01,2017 . About a week after the shots my knees have swollen and I am in terrible pain , I am in more pain now than before the shots. I am wondering how your situation has resolved ? Thanks

OMG ME TOO !! That injection was the most painful experience of my life !! The ortho guy said it was an extreme reaction and he had never seen anybody react like me. My knee is so much worse 3?months later. I am desperate to know if this guy made a mistake in the part of my knee which he chose for the injection. Plus I only had the one and he told me it could and would take 4-6 weeks to work , if indeed it was going to work. I cried night and day until the very last day of that six weeks. My BMI is too high to have knee replacement he said. He basically ABANDONED me after that. What can I do ???

I had bad calf pain and almost thought I would have to have surgery with a TKA. It finally went away and then I only needed Aleve for pain. Still on the Aleve and still have a lot of swelling.

I had the brand which was picked by my doctor injected into my R knee about 7 yrs ago. Worked great all this time. Pain started coming back so went in to get this gel shots into both of my knees. Every time I stand or walk for a period of time ( and not a lot of time) my knees swell up all around and get tight and sore. I can hardly bend them. I am a nurse and just beside my self. I am not sure what to do next as my doctor that did them is not returning my call.
