A member asked:

Can you telling me about negative reaction to the synvisc (hylan g-f 20) injections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: About 5% of the time there will be an allergic reaction to synvisc (hylan g-f 20) characterized by major swelling and pain in the knee within 24 hours. Aspiration and a cortisone injection will resolve the issue.
