A member asked:
Does having a orth injection weaken the joint? also i am having a lot of locking of the knee joint with weight bearing after having the orthovisc injection? why is this please help?

Too many steroid injections could damage a joint, but orthopedic surgeons are keenly aware of this. Hyaluronic acid injections are often extremely successful for certain knee problems. Locking of the joint is NOT due to the injection, and a newer problem such as chondromalacia or instability, should be considered. Return to your orthopedist.
