Fluoroscopy
is an imaging technique commonly used by physicians to obtain real-time
moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use
of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an
X-ray and a monitor where the doctor can see exactly where the needle is
positioned and precisely how the procedure is being executed.
Using
fluoroscopy, Hyalgan is injected directly into the knee joint. Once
injected in the joint space, Hyalgan will naturally lubricate and
cushion the joint.
What can I expect from Hyalgan treatment?
Hyalgan
can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief.
Everyone responds differently, but in a medical study patients
experienced relief starting one month after the injection. Hyalgan can
be repeated safely, so keep track of your symptoms and talk with your
doctor if your knee pain begins to return.
What are the side effects?
The
side effects most commonly seen in a medical study were knee pain,
stiffness and swelling or fluid buildup in or around the knee. Other
side effects, such as rash, may also occur. Side effects were generally
mild to moderate and did not last long. Hyalgan does not have the
serious side effects associated with many pain pills.
