Hello, I have been offered the above treatments to try and alleviate the pain of OA in my neck.
Has anyone any experience of these treatments?
I would particularly like to hear from anyone who has had this done to the neck. How was it? Did it work?
I would be grateful for any help and/or advice.
Thank you
Sue

I've no experience of these, Sue, but, if you put the terms into the search engine above, former threads will come up.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I have had the joint injections a few times, not a good experience though, the fluid increases the pressure in the joint and the crystals in the injection take 2-3 days to disolve, they are too large to pass through the capilleries by osmotic pressure alone.
I haven't had a good outcome from any of them, thankfulky for others I am in the minority, take heart from those that do get helped by them.0
