Synvisc Nightmare

[kathyjo53]

Any class action suits out there? In an attempt to be proactive in maintaining my knees, i took my doctors advice to have Synvisc injections in my right knee. After the second knee I had severe swelling, pain and complete instability when trying to walk. My doctor aspirated 30 cc of fluid from my knee. She then shared with me that the UPMC system insists that they use the Synvisc, a protien from chicken combs instead of a new synthetic shot that hhas less "pseudoseptic: reactions such as what I was experiencing!! I was just aspirated this morning and have as much swelling as I had before. I scoured the package inserts before I agreed to prodeeded and saw NOTHING evn close to the pain and symptions I have...Bewre!

I received SynviscOne on Dec 21, 2016.  I am now having a similar experience of severe pseudospetic reaction to Synvisc since Dec 26.  One ER visit and knee aspiration later (45 cc fluid), I'm going to see my Orthopedist again (for the fourth time) to discuss options. I may need to opt for knee surgery to remove Synvisc, sooner rather than later.  I have been suffering with severe pain, swelling, and immobility for two weeks now. It is still a mystery to me why only my left knee reacted when I was injected with SynVisc in both knees??

I have decided to have the Sinvisc removed with surgery next week - it has been a nightmare for a month since the injection.

Anyone found a lawyer yet. Would love to get this drug off the market. After my 3 shoot I had to use crutches for 4 day. I begged to not have the 3rd shoot. Doctor did it anyway.

I have been in agony for 14 days now my last  of 3 injections was 11/13 2015.  Muscle cramps severe syatic type pain up my leg . Numbing tingles and sleeplessness from the pain that wakes me up.  I had these sweats also but did not relate that to this till I read thieves blogs.  What am I to do this is worse then the meniscus surgery.?.
I am going back to my acupuncture tomorrow the dr told me not to go when I had the surgery.
Any advise ? I would like to to join any class action suit. They obviously are doing more harm then good
