I received a synvisc one injection one (b)(6) 2016.(i have had synvisc previously, over 3 years ago, delivered in 3 separate doses).Over the course of the last two weeks.I have had increased swelling in the knee, culminating last night when it woke me from sleep at 2am with severe pain.The entire joint is over 3 cm larger in diameter, the pain radiated posterior knee down the back of the calf, and i was unable to weight bear on the extremity.Today, i had to leave work for an emergency appointment with my orthopedist, where i reluctantly received a cortisone shot, something i was trying to avoid due to my history of having cortisone in the past.It is still extremely swollen and painful, with restricted rom and abnormal gait pattern.Date the person first started taking or using the product: (b)(6) 2017.Date the person stopped taking or using the product: (b)(6) 2017.Did the problem stop after the person reduced the dose or stopped taking or using the product: no.
