Re: [RC] Question for Older Riders - Lynne GlazerFor me it was the *series* of 3 synvisc shots two weeks apart, with the last one done about 2 weeks later my knee felt normal and quit swelling. I'm not sure that people get results with one shot. The third shot was immediately before Tevis, where I hiked to the swinging bridge with all that gear, and it was a bear. Two weeks later and I was convinced I could have done it without the pain and swelling. Had some cranial sacral to undo the 18 months of compensation too.Your result is what I felt with a single injection of Cortisone, and it didn't do me any good. Works for lots of people though. I use little quarter-sized dots of "molefoam" on my first metatarsal (ball of the foot) in all my shoes now--Morton's Foot--many of us have the second toe longer than the first and that causes us to bear weight on 2 main points instead of three. We get calluses in the middle of the metatarsals, sometimes a lot of foot cramping too--all gone now. I think having proper support has also contributed to the cessation of knee pain. YMMV, Lynne http://www.photo.lynnesite.com On Dec 22, 2007, at 8:07 AM, rides2far@xxxxxxxx wrote:
