Hello!
No it will not affect the X-ray and you still can see the amount of osteoarthritis you are suffering with.
Orthovisc relieves knee pain by providing up to six months of relief, replaces natural joint fluid and works to restore your knee joint mobility.
You can also try intermittent NSAIDs, steroid shots and the final option is surgery.
Discuss with an orthopedician and also maintain a normal BMI of less than 25 with normal weight for your height.
Take care!
