Side effects of chicken fat injections in knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: There is no such thing as chicken fat injections. If you mean synvisc (hylan g-f 20) injections (rooster comb) there is a risk of local allergic reactions but not much else. These only occur about 5% of the time and not with the first injection. They are easily treated.
