What does synovist mean i was told i have it severe in the knee? what is usually the treatment for this. please help i miserable and in pain

You must mean: SYNVISC... a product used to simulate actual JOINT FLUID thus restoring (temporarily) the CUSHION of fluid in your knee relieving the pain produced when your BONES rub together...usually your CARTILAGE does this job and yours is unfortunately missing due to damage from arthritis. This treatment (3 injections) can (if it works) last for up to 6 months at which time more SYNVISC can be used.. Z
