...in the knees? I just got both knees shot with that drug and I'm wondering if it worked out okay. That was 24 hours ago as of 11:30 Eastern time. Swelling seems to be a side effect according to what I could find at 3:00 this AM while icing down the knees. I'll get another shot next week and the 3rd the following week. I know, new knees are in my future but I have enough going on right now for that. Maybe next winter if the shots wear off before 6 months I'll order a pair of knees off Amazon. Thanks in advance.

Question about Euflexa shots...

You should find out about PRP for the knees.
The VA uses it and for many it's great.
You might have to wait as you just got the other shots.

I did Euflexa shots for about 6 years. I never had to ice the knee when I was taking shots. As others have said they work good till they don't, then its time for a new knee. FWIW the skill of the shooter goes a long way in making things work good.
After the second series of shots with my doctors permission I went as long as I could between series of shots. One time I made it almost a year.
Good luck!

I’m going to ask about that PRP, mainly for my back (five bad disks). I had to look it up. The only issue I read is blood clotting. Thanks for the suggestion.
As far as my back, nothing they ever injected into me ever really worked. They are the reason I’m on pain meds. They ruled out a back operation, so it’s drugs or pain.

I recommend bourbon. I've had all the back shots and bilateral RF ablation on L4-L5-S1. That helped for a while (three months), but when the nerves grew back, it was agonizing. No more. None of the oxycodone family of drugs did anything for me.
OP
Bourbon is a great Idea. I just can't get it past my nose! If I get anything stronger than beer, it would probably be Yukon Jack. I'll usually get a fifth or pint of that around Christmas. But, more than two shots of that and it's time for my wife to get out her phone and record the alien I turn into!! It does take the pain away, though. But there's not enough aspirin in the house to fix the gawd awful hangover!
