Bad news is that it is not going to fix what is wrong, it just puts the fire out for a while. And there is about 20 - 25% of people that it has no effect. I was one of those. So, in 2000 after 29 knee surgeries, I had bilateral total knee replacements, and the pain went away!!! 
Synvisc injections are not painful, at least not compared to the pain you are walking around with all the time. I would highly recommend the procedure, and then see what happens.
Please feel free to PM me at any time if you have any more questions.

Ok... a potential temporary fix on the way to repeat of that temporary fix (with less success and more potential complications) on the way to an eventual knee replacement .
Appreciate the personal experience. I guess I have nothing to lose. Might as well give it a whirl.
Thanks!
