osteoarthritis
"I was diagnosed with lupus 4 years ago and have been living in constant pain.  My knees have been the worst especially my right knee.  I was offered the Orthovisc injections for the first time in May 2011.  I just received my 3rd injection and I could tell immediately after the first one my knee was 95% better. I cannot express how good it feels to walk pain free for the first time in 4 years. I was near using a wheelchair every time I had to leave the house. I am so happy looking forward to seeing how long it lasts. My back quit hurting as well due to knee pain changing my gait caused back pain! I wish I had known about this sooner! I would recommend this to anyone.  I'm so thrilled to feel like I use to and to be able to function."
