Good advisor
As far as I am aware Hyaluronic Acid injections are not available on the NHS. You can have them privately at the London Clinic, but they are frightfully expensive. I take Hyaluronic Acid capsules as supplements, but can not swear by it, as I also take so many other supplements.

I have asked to have Hyaluronic injections for my knee arthritis but told "they don't do them" on the NHS. I suppose if someone high up in NICE had chronic knee arthritis things might be different!!

Yes, these injections are not available on the NHS. You can have them in Harley Street, The London Clinic and are frightfully expensive. may be in time to come, they might become available on the NHS

Hi. New to the group,I have ostiiarthritis plus sciatica and tendonitis. For this happy arrangement I'm on morphine patches ,have been for around 20 years. Last night which makes the 3rd Time ever I was cold turkey as the heat just peels away the patches by making me sweat more moist than anything . But I have an arrangement that I have 4extra 5mg patches for as and when I need them cos if you run out before the alloted date boy ,are you in trouble. And going cold turkey at the thanks to the NHS is just great. The hell can i do to stop them coming off my arm , and they are taped on. But that's my night last night ,shaking twitching sweating as the house is like an oven an to top it all, I've been in a flare up for the last week. So if any one out there goes through the same ,ehatr do you do if you have no patch?????

Hi, all I can say is the meds help for a while, it's all about knowing what your pain tolerance is. And no t taking meds all the time. Stretches physiotherapy etc always made mine worse 1 hour session would put me on my back for 2 days. Every week for 6 months they never listen when you tell them.

Hyaluronic acid injections are considered by some doctors and researched an effective way to relief osteoarthritis symptoms, especially for knee osteoarthritis, as the acid helps lubricate the joints and thus facilitate joint movement.
Have you tried this treatment? Did you find it useful? How many times have you had injections?
Don't hesitate to share your experience with hyaluronic acid and give your advice to other patients.
