Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had an orthovisc shot in both of my knees and fainted and then threw up right after and an hour after. Is that an allergic reaction? I m supposed to get a second round tomorrow and don t think I should go through that again....plus they don t help THAT much do they?
Hello. The injections can help but usually only after you've had a few of them. This doesn't exactly sound like an allergic reaction but maybe just a reaction to having had a needle stuck inside your knees.
You need to let your doctor know about this and let him decide whether you can continue with the injections.
