Synvisc injections works wonders on my knees, have it done every 4-6 months. Wish they could inject that stuff on you back, hips neck and feet....Wow now that would be a miracle! Don't take methotrexate or any other oral medications for my RA. dealing with gastroparesis, a gastro motility disorder which may be linked to the autoimmune myriad of illnesses. Pretty bad sometimes, feels like my entire digestive system goes on vacation for several days and it forgets to throw the trash out, looks like I'm 6 months pregnant. Pretty painful. So back to Synvise injections Yes!!! they really work wonders and I'm banking on this stuff being approved for other joints. Hope this works out for you!

Thanks so much for your response. I'm scheduled for the Synvisc on July 10th. I hope your gastro problems ease up soon!
Not while taking methotrexate but previously...and they helped a bit
