They make a product called SYNVISC which is injected into the knee joint like cortisone but it is a different product. It doesn’t work on everyone, but for those it does it is great. I could tell the difference after my first injection before I even got back to my car. I was able to delay bi-lateral knee replacement for about 4 years. When it no longer was effective I also new it immediately. Pretty amazing stuff. Ask your surgeon about it.

There’s no parking at the VA hospital I go to. They’re building a parking garage where the parking lot was. Should be done by July 2025

Same issue at the Fresno ca. Hospital.I have had to drive around and wait for another patient to leave to get a parking spot! I find parking much easier if I make all appointments later than 2 pm!

Good luck with them. When my knee was bad the first shot lasted about 1 month after that it wasn't as effective. The only thing that helped was a full knee replacement. That went well and feels as good as new. If I had to do the other one I would go in a heartbeat. I'm too much of a Sally to do them both like I've seen other do. One at a time is all I think I could handle. Fortunately the other knee is fine. Messed up just one in high-school football.
