Knee injections: Synvisc experience and reviews?

Has anyone actually tried this specific hyaluronic acid solution, or maybe a different one, for degenerative knee issues?
My dad just went through knee surgery, and the doctors recommended either this brand or Synocrom Forte. I’m looking for some real-world feedback—which one actually works better? He’s already dealt with multiple ligament and meniscus surgeries, and at this point, his cartilage is basically non-existent. They’re claiming these injections can help regenerate what's left.
Any advice would be a lifesaver! 🙂

It won’t regrow the cartilage, but some post-op "lubrication" might help ease the symptoms... though, nobody knows for certain..

He’d likely need to wait a bit after the surgery before getting an injection.. how long exactly 🤷

If it were a miracle cure, it certainly wouldn't be such a mystery..

If this were some kind of miracle cure, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, right?

That’s exactly what I was thinking too. It feels off because if the doctor thought it was a good idea, he would have just injected it immediately, especially since the surgery was only a few days ago. I really think they should let some time pass first...
Thanks so much for the advice 🙂

Look, I’m no doctor and I’m definitely not handing out medical advice... I just know those shots are more or less experimental and can cause side effects sometimes. Maybe the physician has a solid reason for wanting them administered right away—you should probably just ask him...
