Has anyone heard or have used synvisc...I would love to get some feed back on this....I just finished my 3 rounds of shots, and really haven't noticed anything. I have cronic pain and arthritis in both ankles, due to being born with club feet....I have had many surgeries, and have been fitted for braces. Doctors tell me that I need both ankles replaced......I am too young though 28.....Thanks Heather
