Ouch I did!! and it hurt like a bear! that is when my doc said knee replacement. It was bad and I have a high pain tolerance. That was before we knew I had RA we knew I had Osteoarthritis. It sometimes works for some but my knee was so bad it had holes throughout it. Osteoarthritis the doc said.

The surgeon who is going to replace my knee told me that my RA would flare. He said the injections are seen by the body as a foreign substance and therefore the immune system attacks. Makes sense I suppose.

My husband did and they didn't work. BUT I have friends that have had it done and it worked wonderfully well.

Euflexxa worked for my osteoarthritis, but my RA eventually infiltrated my knees, this one of the reasons I'm in a power-chair.
