Suggest A Treatment For Rheumatoid
My wife is 50 yrs, she had had synvisc shots in her knee up to 2 times before, that I can account for. This last application has put her to no weight bearing this morning and is swollen, painful. Other treatment have been almost instant pain relief. She does have diagnosis of rheumatoid . So painful that she is not able to stand.
