I had arthroscopic surgery in January on my left knee, then three synvisc shots over a two week period in April, 2001. I don't seem to have much relief as of yet. I hear that it's about 40% successful?? I had a brace made that is supposed to transfer the wear from the medial to the lateral miniscus. A couple of weeks ago I slipped and tore the ligament in my right knee. Now they both are sore... It's very discouraging as I have been very active in sports my entire life, I'm 69 years old, overweight but otherwise very healthy. Since I didn't prepare financially to get old, I must continue working at my auto glass business installing windshields, etc.
