Just doing some researching...

So yesterday I got my first of three knee injections of Orthovisc (sodium hyaluronate).
I have an arthritic knee and the gel injections are supposed to help with the pain.

Long story short...
The three injection course runs about $3500.
Supposedly the pain relief lasts maybe 6 months.

The only reason I could afford it is because my family reached our family $6000 deduction limit so everything is now free.
So... it is not something I see myself able to get every year for the rest of my squatting life.

Anyway...
I see that on the interwebs I can get the veterinary version of it for about $300.

Just has my mind spinning...

I have also started looking at some online international web places to see if it is available.

Gonna go to the pharmacy and see if I even need a prescription... I'm sure I do.
