Today I got my first of these.
It is called supartz, it is a shot to help with joint lubrication, and hopefully reduce pain and swelling.
Oh man was it a bugger going in.. I mean OUCH!
This is the next step trying to put off another surgery this summer. The doctor (and I) are hoping it makes enough of a difference in Pain Levels and Function that we can put off an Osteotomy (cutting a wedge out of my femur) or a total knee replacement for a little longer.
I will get one of these babies once a week for the series of 5.
