Last Tuesday I had my first injection. I don't know if it's natural swelling or an allergic reaction to the shot. There is more swelling there. When I go in for my second shot, I'll have the doctor check it out.:(

Can you call the doctor before your next appointment to describe your symptoms? S/he might be able to prescribe a different treatment if you are allergic.

I hope everything is OK.

David, you really should at least call your doctor and tell him/her about the swelling. Like Nicole said, he might precribe something different for you.

Take care of that knee, and try not to be walking around so much.

What happened to your knee? What type of injections are you getting?

I hope your swelling goes down and you're feeling better soon. :)

I have a very arthritic left knee. Right now I'm taking a series of shots called SUPARTZ which is supposed to relubricate the knee. I take the second shot today,and I'll find out more fom the doctor.

I got my second shot today. The doctor seemed to think that the swelling was just a side effect from the shots and that it was all right.

David, that is great! I'm glad he didn't think it was anything serious.

Thanks for the update! I hope everything continues to go well and the medicine will help your knee.

Oh boy....I feel your pain with knee problems. I've already been warned by doctors when I was 16 that I might not walk by the time I am 30 years old and now I'm only 20. :( It's all softball related from when I was a catcher. I hope your knee feels better. :)

I had orthoscopic ( can't spell )surgury on my knee and the doc said that I might get a little arthritis. Now I have alot of arthritis in it!! I'm hoping these Supartz injections work!
