I am taking Symvist shots in my knees!!!

I’m not gonna lie the needle part doesn’t hurt but injecting the medicine does hurt a little!!!

Now a couple of hours after the shot your knees will hurt like a big dog for 24 hrs!!!

That’s because the knee is raw on the inside from all the grinding from walking bone on bone!!!

I take these shots every 6 months!!!

I just had my second round of injections last month....the first time I did them I did get some relief but this go round I have total relief of pain in my knees!!!

I need total knee replacement in both my knees so I am doing these shots for now until I get brave enough to do the surgery!!!
