Osteoarthritis

[George Clay]

My DR. has tried Synvisc on my right knee and it didn't seem to work and now wants to try Euflexxa on my left knee. I saw the Synvisc is approved, but is the Euflexxa? What hurdles am I looking at for my First Class Med.
Thanks,
George

It should not be a problem. It is just another brand of hyaluronic acid for joints. If this does not work, it may be time for new hardware.

Thanks, Just trying to put off the new hardware for a little while.
