hyaluronic acid joint injections

[Mike45]

Does anyone have any experience with hyaluronic acid joint injections to ease the pain and stiffness of an osteoarthritis knee? I've been told treatment is one injection per week for 3 to 5 weeks. Each treatment is expected to cost 2500 Baht. Does this sound about right treatment and price wise? How do you know if after three treatments you need to continue for two more?

Thanks

Thanks jrt for the information. It looks like an established medical procedure. I'm hoping someone will also be able to give me some first hand experience and possibly a recommendation. I also have to admit I'm looking for verification of the cost of treatment.

I assume you've tried just taking capsules? Great for the skin, too.
