Has anyone had an hyaluronic acid injection for helping with pain and movement in a joint that has osteoarthritis.

I’m booked in to go private for this injection 5/11.
I’m hoping it will help 🙏🏼 as my right shoulder is so sore and I’m finding it difficult doing physio.

I have moderate OA in this shoulder, tendonosis and a downward slopping spur..

Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

TIA

Members rallied around a question about Durolane hyaluronic acid injections for shoulder osteoarthritis, with several sharing that the treatment sounds promising because it works more naturally with the body compared to steroid injections, which some noted may worsen OA over time. The member who got the injection reported minimal pain during the procedure, followed by soreness from an accompanying massage, but noticed real improvement within days including better sleep and reduced burning pain down the arm. A recurring theme was encouragement to keep trying new options, stay consistent with physio, and lean on community support through the process.

I looked this up, but have not tried it. One treatment should last for 6 months. Avoid if you have an infection or rash in the area being treated. It is safe for multiple treatments if needed. It sounds promising. If my insurance covers it I will try it. It is supposed to be way better than steroid injections.
