What Causes Sloshing Sound In My Knee After Receiving Synvisc-One?

After 4 days of subdued activities advised by orthopedic surgeon for a synvisc one injection, I went back to normal activities. It is now the end of my day and there s a sloshing sound in my knee. Is this normal or did I overdo it and mess up what the injection intended?

Very difficult to say in your particular case without examing you. The fluid in the synvisc, however, is designed to stay put and lubricate. The sac it is put into is quite dynamic and joint fluid, motion, changes in the knee anatomy, activity all change the position of the synvisc. If someone has more arthtiris and more area for the synvisc to be into and more mobility of the sac that it is put into, the positioning of it is more likely to change. It is generally NOT a sign of a disaster and Generally, it will shift back. Putting the knee in deep water (a pool or hot tub) will apply gentle even pressure and push the fluid back into place.
