Has anyone had flare ups after getting SynVisc shots in your knee?

For about 3 days after I get the SynVisc shots my knees blow up, become warm to the touch, and I have trouble walking or keeping steady.

I had a cyst on the inside of my arch pop up after my injection of SynVisc. When my doctor tried to draw out the gunk. He said it was jelly like and he thought it was from the shot! But yes my Knee got really sore and it didn't really help!

Thanks, @A myRAteam Member
I didn't know if I was having an allergic reaction or if it might be an RA thing.
