Questions for Doctor for 80 yr old with severe osteoarthritis in left knee
80-yr old with severe osteoarthritis in left knee cannot get total knee replacement till he gets TAVR to fix severe aortic stenosis.
Current Knee Dr ordered Orthovisc 4 injections, one week apart.
Patient read lot of user reviews on Internet and has questions for Doctor before undergoing these injections.
Below are questions, what other questions should Patient ask Doctor?
- Since osteoarthritis in left knee is so severe, what are the chances that the injection will be successful?
- Why not have a single injection, such as Synvisc-One?
- Will you, the Doctor personally perform the injection into the joint? How will you guide the needle, will you use ultrasound?
- Will you be easily accessible for those weeks after the shot, in case of adverse reaction?
