Is Hyaluronic Acid Safe To Use Knee Joint Soreness?

Hello, I had my thyroid killed with radiation in 19 years ago for hyperthyroidism. Can I use Hyaluronic acid for joints. The bottle states Joint Movement Glucosamine: 200mg glucosamine, 1200 mg chondroitin, 500 mg MSM plus and 10 mg hyaluronic acid. My knees are really sore from working 8 hours as a CNA from constantly bending. Is this product safe and will if function as it states? Or somewhat any?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Yes you can take hyaluronic acid in joint.
Edema can increase post injection.antigenic reaction can occur.
You may need to do renal function test and pelvic ultrasound.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises

Life style changes will help in reducing pain which include,
LOAD REDUCTION: Protecting the joint from excessive load may slow down the rate of cartilage loss. It is also effective in relieving pain. The heavier you are, the more stress you put on your joints. Weight reduction for obese patients, wearing shock-absorbing shoes, avoiding activities like climbing stairs and using a walking stick are worthwhile.

USING CANES: Assistive devices can make it easier to go about your day without stressing your painful joint. A cane may take weight off your knee or hip as you walk. Carry the cane in the hand opposite the leg that hurts.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
