I had to first read about Orthovisc. Sounds like a hassle, 2 days of no movement and you need a shot weekly.

I was in the orhtopod's office 2wice in Feb thinking this is it, I'm going under. He gave me a cortisone shot. I'm good now with reasonable activity. If you haven't had the cortisone, consider it.

Another thread once pointed out that depending on your insurance, you can do the surgery in Oct/Nov, go to therapy thru Dec and be able to start more therapy the first of the year. Find out how much you are eligible for annually to work this scheme.

If I have to do it, I can wait.
