A member asked:

If i had 4 injections of hyalgan and it didn't help the knee pain would synvisc, (hylan g-f 20) eufflexa, supartz or orthovisc help the pain?

Unlikely: These are all similar treatments. If you failed one the others are unlikely to work. 4 injections of Hyalgan is an unusual number. Did you complete the recommended treatment?
