Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Durolane Injection different from other treatments?
Durolane’s unique formulation provides longer-lasting relief compared to some other hyaluronic acid treatments, making it a preferred choice for knee osteoarthritis management.
How soon can I expect to see results after the Durolane Injection?
Many patients experience improvement in pain and mobility within a few weeks after receiving the Durolane Injection.
Are there any side effects associated with Durolane Injection?
As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects, but Durolane is generally well-tolerated. Our specialists will discuss any concerns you may have during your consultation.
How do I know if I have osteoarthritis?
The main symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain and stiffness that’s localised to certain joints. However, it can also include:
- Tenderness.
- More severe symptoms after periods of inactivity.
- Crackling of grating sound when joints are moved.
- Muscle weakness.
- Limited range of movement.
- Increased ‘knobbly’ appearance at the joints.
Does Durolane treatment hurt?
It’s normal for patients to experience slight discomfort during the injection, although this can simply be avoided through the use of a numbing agent or localised anaesthetic.
How long does Durolane last?
The exact duration of effectiveness of Durolane injections will depend on a range of factors, such as age, degree of injury, the joints affected, and underlying health conditions. A medical professional will be able to provide an accurate forecast during a consultation. However, Durolane is considered a long lasting treatment for relieving knee pain and restoring mobility relative to other options.
