Mine for some reason didn't suggest cortisone shots...just went right to the synvisc. Not sure why... but that's why he's a doc and i'm just a former action guy.

Until someone with some knowledge comes back...my doc has me set to go or 1 injection a week for three weeks. I found some info on this stuff at a site called rxinfo dot com. I typed in HYLAN DF 20 and it took me to a bunch of info and "user reviews". Some were single treatments, others were the same 3 injection protocol.

but hey, I'm just a live training aid when it comes to this stuff.
