May 4, 201610 years ago, I suffered from a bad knee: a MRI scan showed severe Arthritis. I had a lot of pain.
Since I lived in China at that time, I went to the hospital for accupuncture and massage, which gave me some relief.
By exploring the internet, I also read an article about Hyaluronic Acid which was not very clear concerning results. But this article made me remember my time in Italy when we had horses. One of the horses had a knee problem and after Hyaluronic Acid injections the horse was doing much better. A horse cannot fake improvement, so, I thought if it works for my horse, than it should work with me too.
The Chinese doctor was willing to give me a series of 7 injections in seven days (very cheap in China!) and my knee did not hurt anymore! The doctor told me that I probably would come back after 6-8 months, but only now, after 10 years, the knee starts to hurt again. I will go for a repeat treatment.

February 11, 2016I have seen a big reduction in joint pain since I switched to a glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM combination that also included Hyaluronic Acid (100mg). My knees, thumb, and elbow do not hurt anymore!

May 6, 2017i take Baxyl which is a gel taken by mouth. It is a fabulous product for me and I really notice if I forget to take it. It is just straight hyaluronic acid..

I have had hyaluronic Injections in both thumbs and have been pain free for 10 years after debilitating basal I joint arthrosis took me off work. I am part of the study above and my doctor was Dr. Rosenwasser.

September 24, 2015Thank you for sharing your experience. Pleased to learn that hyaluroic acid has lasting positive effects on your thumbs. Do you need to cintinue taking supplements with hyaluronic acid?
