A member asked:

I just had a second orthovisc knee injection and i am wondering why my knee is so swollen and it feels so full? i am in a lot pain. please help.

Ask your physician: This is important because you will need your knee drained and cultured. We must rule out infection. It could be due to your underlying arthrits or a reaction to the the Orthovisc.
