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

i personally had 2 rounds of synvisc and didnt notice anything happen either. i am now going to try orthovisc, which im told is a round of 5 instead of 3...i think they hurt to get and did nothing for my pain, increase of activity, etc. good luck with yours...im also too young to have a total knee replacement which i desperately need...take care, krissy

it's treatment for the knee.
It's susspoed to help up to 6 months pain relif. Injected into the joint of the knee to help cushion the joints. It's not recommed to do any excerise for the first 48 hours. It's not a steriod shot. I just did a google search and it came up.
