On Euflexxa Knee Injections For Osteoarthritis Every 6 Months. Any Suggestions To Extend The Effectiveness Of Injections?

Hi, I receive euflexxa knee injections for my osteoarthritis knees and they do help a lot. It seems to last about 4 months and then I can get another round of injections 6 months later. Anything I can do to extend the effectiveness of knee injections, such as less running while I do feel good? Should I view the injections as you only get so many miles out of them? FYI...I will pay for your answer once I see it.

Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of day.

Right posture and appropriate footwear while walking are important things to remember. Exercise to strengthen quadriceps muscle which helps in stabilizing the knee are important. There is clinical evidence suggesting that the injections last for so many miles.

I hope it helped.
