A member asked:
Why should you avoid weight bearing activity after having orthovisc injections? what is the reason behind it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthopedic friends tell me no reason to avoid weight bearing following injection of hyaluronic acid to the knees. Do not understand your admonition. Talk to your doctor and ask your questions, as I have no alternative explanation.
