Had Orthovic Injections, Knees Painful. What Is Happening?
I have 3 orthovic injections and tomorrow will be the 4th week since beginning treatments. My knees are now so painful I can barely walk with a cane. I also feel bad, like I have the flu. My knees hurt before the injection but now THEY REALLY HURT!! What the hey is happening?

Hello and welcome.
Orthovic injections contain hyaluronic acid which is used in the treatment of conditions like osteoarthritis by providing and promoting healthy joint space movement and cushioning.
The pain that you are currently experiencing is temporary and will soon subside. Your knee is only getting used to the change and will soon recover to a much healthier and younger feeling knee.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
