hi honey I am 4 weeks today since having Arthrosamid in my right knee and I was feeling considerably better & have been able to bend it better than in a long time, but yesterday and in the night & today it’s been feeling achy that I’m thinking I might take some painkillers….. did you find you had any issues after a month??

I had an arthrosamid injection a year ago, 69 years old, in very good health and shape apart from my knee. I really wanted to avoid surgery. Sorry to say, this was a total waste of money. I was assured that it would take a few weeks or at most couple of months before results would show. Later I read that in rare cases it could take up to a year. Now after more than a year there is no change in function or pain except slightly to the worse. I have followed the exercise recommendations. I will now have to go through surgery after an extra year of suffering. I would like to see reviews directly from patients not through the company. There was no follow up.

Hello @ENK and welcome to the Online Community.

I am sorry to hear that the injection didn't work for you, things work for some people and not others and it is a shame it didn't work for you.

By what you have written you seem to be trying to keep your knee moving but I've put a couple of links in below which may be of some use,

I hope you get some relief soon.
