Mine is still cranky. I'm waiting on the doc to read the MRI results...
My cranky right knee (arthritic from surgeries in the 1980's now that I'm 50+) was so bad in late July I literally couldn't walk down steps properly. There were days it was hard to get it to bend enough to ride the bike. Had another round of Synvisc shots (google it), last one August 13th (3 injections over two weeks). Knee felt better right away, but not great, in fact in October it was getting a bit cranky again. Then in late Oct/early November the Synvisc seems to have kicked in, now my knee feels friggin great. Hope it lasts as long as the first round of shots (Feb. 2008), that kept me going for nearly 18 months.
