domdom Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hello, I had abroad a very good Doctor who was a generalist but also doing acupuncture and mesotherapy.. He improved a lot my knees dolors.. but all this was 10 years ago and dolor is back.. Do you know a good Doctor practising mesotherapy ? All what I find is regarding cosmetology but nothing for a dolor treatment.. Thank you in advance Have a nice week end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Mesotherapy simply means the injection of substances (vitamins, medications, whatever) into subcutaeous fat. I am not aware if anywhere in Thailand injecting anything into sc fat as part of treatment of knee pain. What exactly where they injecting you with? BTW the English word you are looking for is pain, not dolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domdom Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Good afternoon Yes, sorry you re completely right.. it is pain.. My mistake He was doing approximately 10 to 15 small injections in my knee.. this treatment went on for approximately 2 years every month or 6 weeks and the improvement was really important.. I should have asked him in fact... regret I didn t ,, but anyway could have been difficult to find anybody to do it here At first he was touching my knee and from place to place he was putting a point on my skin with a pen.. and then on those points, he was making very small injections.. Have a nice afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Without knowing what exactly he was injecting there is nothing to go on. In any case I very much doubt available here. HA injections are, and can be very helpful, but that is apparently not what your were having done as would not have been that many separate injections nor that often. They are worth considering, though. HA is Hylauronic Acid, it is a natural body substance and is the fluid normally found lubricating joints. Brand name is Synvisc or Synvisc One. Relief lasts up to 6 months. Unlike what you were having back home it is injected into the joint space, not just under the skin. I expect orthopedists at BPH and PIH can provide it.

domdom Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks a lot as usual Sheryl.. I imagine it can be used even with my heart condition, so being under quite a lot of meds including Xarelto rytmonorm and dilatrend ? If yes, as I go on 21st for my heat check up in PIH, will enquire Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only know side effects are related to the injection site, there may be soreness/redness there for a while. You can read up on it here https://www.synviscone.com/ I should warn it is an expensive medication, but as mentioned can give up to 6 months pain relief for many people.
