Sorry about that but I recently had a Hyaluronic acid hip injection (product is called Synvisk) to relieve my labral tear + femoral head necrosis.
People refer to it as viscosupplementation. Read about it as opinions are diverging.
As for me, I went from no sports at all after IMFL to swimming, biking and jogging (not running yet) again. Not race fit though but livable, bearable and much easier on the joints (at least for 6 months…)
Not covered by Ohip, $500 (ouch) and performed by an MD with an ultra-sound technician guiding him.
Super long syringe (ouch again) and 2 days of pain then… labral pain GONE.
I am a believer but as always, I assume results vary and it may not yield the same results for you.
Let me know if you are interested and want more info. I only know that one doctor in Ottawa (Dr Gauvreau) but I trust him. I do not know about other doctors performing that injection in Ontario.
