One small needle with a local anesthetic within both knees and then one large one to drain out any fluid that was between my knees and then one medium one that injected this fluid matter called Synvisc. It’s not a cortisone, but it does work and for the next two days the rheumatoid specialist whom I have know for years got it done, I have to go back on Thursday as he wishes to see more on my joints as he does figure that I have arthritis and yet at the same time as he was one that trained with me at the gym wished to go through a serious of things that I should eat. So that is not bad, mind you I am not one for these cheesy medical gowns that they have. Mind you this is something I had done three years ago and although it is said that it only lasts for a year at the best, I finally have had it done and shall have it done again. According to him, it’s a genetic thing and so I have a tad of rheumatoid arthritis and this will have to be something that I work along with it’s not all that bad I just have to lay down a foundation of what I do. And as well, what I eat. Vitamin D and Calcium definitely are apart of my diet. So it’s a good day and glad that this is all over with and that is about it. For any matter there is always a remedy, and sometimes there is a little bit of a wait but finally it’s all done with.
