Lubricating injections

magenta

Hello,

Hope everyone well. I wonder if anyone can help me? What is in the injection that lubricates the joint, is it Hyalorunidase (sp!)? If so, has anyone had this done?
Thanks,

Hi Eileen,

Not sure if its the right name but it does sound like something we both need eh?!

Do you think they are going to give you that? I wanted them to do some f that but they wouldn't... mind i also wanted the magic disc one, you know the one that pumps up dehydrated discs? they wouldn't do that either

Hope you have had a decent weekend and leaving you a ((( ))) and a hope. love Cris xx

Hi Cris,

How are you? Hope you're doing ok girl. I've had a lovely weekend but as usual, over far too soon!

I've been told I'm getting something in my jaw that will help to lubricate it. I know it's not steroid cos I'll get that next if the lubricating one doesn't help. I was too stunned to ask what it was.

Take care,

Eileen xx

Hi Magenta

I think Hyaluronan is the word you are looking for? Sorry I can't add more or offer advise, but as an former librarian in another life I do like a challenge! :roll:
Apparently often used for knees but also for 'popping jaws' :shock:
Good luck with it and I hope it helps.
take care
Chris

Hi Toni,

You're a wee minx

I'm going for a pre-assessment on the 30th with the intention of going into hospital on the 3rd of June for injections into my jaw-all under a lovely general anaesthetic!

I'm looking forward to it as I'm hoping it works but worried too cos I don't know what I'll be like after it. I'm going to have to make lots of soup and buy lots of ice-cream
